* Lunar Phases: The moon's phases are caused by the changing angles of sunlight reflecting off its surface as it orbits the Earth. A full moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun in the sky, meaning it's fully illuminated.
* Sunrise and Sunset: Sunrise is when the sun appears on the eastern horizon.
* Moon's Position: Because the full moon is opposite the sun, it will be in the sky during the night, setting as the sun rises in the east.
Therefore, a full moon will be setting in the west as the sun rises in the east. You might see a waning gibbous moon near sunrise, but not a full moon.
