Full Moon
* Appearance: A full moon is a large, round, bright, and fully illuminated disk in the sky. It's the brightest and most visible lunar phase.
* Visibility: A full moon is visible all night long, rising in the east as the sun sets and setting in the west as the sun rises. It's the only phase where the entire illuminated side of the moon faces Earth.
New Moon
* Appearance: A new moon is essentially invisible to the naked eye. The moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, so the sunlit side of the moon faces away from us, leaving the dark side facing Earth.
* Visibility: You can't see the new moon because it's lost in the sun's glare. It's only visible during a solar eclipse when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun.
In Summary:
* Full Moon: Bright, round, visible all night.
* New Moon: Invisible to the naked eye.
