The moon is only technically 十分な when it is 100 per cent illuminated but because it is in constant 動議 around the Earth this only lasts for an instant.
More 一般に speaking, we 言及する to the 十分な moon as any time that our lunar 衛星 appears to be fully illuminated to an 観察者／傍聴者 on Earth.??
Dr Affelia Wibisono, 天文学者 at the 王室の 観測所 in Greenwich, told MailOnline: 'In 2024, the moment when the Moon is at its fullest will occur at 12:30pm on the 24th.?
'The Moon won't be 明白な from the UK at this time, but it will appear 十分な on the nights before and after.'

This is the invisible 段階 of the Moon, with the illuminated 味方する of the Moon 直面するing the Sun and the night 味方する 直面するing Earth.
2. Waxing 三日月
This silver sliver of a Moon occurs when the illuminated half of the Moon 直面するs mostly away from Earth, with only a tiny 部分 明白な to us from our 惑星.
3. First ４半期/4分の1?
The Moon is now a ４半期/4分の1 of the way through its 月毎の 旅行 and you see half of its illuminated 味方する.?
4. Waxing Gibbous
Now most of the Moon's dayside has come into 見解（をとる）, and the Moon appears brighter in the sky.?
5. 十分な Moon
This is as の近くに as we come to seeing the Sun's i llumination of the entire day 味方する of the Moon.
6. 病弱なing Gibbous
As the Moon begins its 旅行 支援する toward the Sun, the opposite 味方する of the Moon now 反映するs the Moon’s light.?
7. Last ４半期/4分の1
