When you seÂe the entire, fully-lighted face of the Moon from Earth, that’s a Full Moon. The Earth is sandwiched between the Sun and the Moon during this time. That means the Sun is lighting up the side of the Moon we can see, creating a round, bright disk. A full moon comes around once every month or so.
Now, from one full moon to the next, an aveÂrage of about 29.53 days passes. That’s called a synodic month. Lunar caleÂndars, which start a new month with each new moon, usually seÂe the full moon on the 14th or 15th day. In these calendars, a month can be either 29 or 30 days long because they use whole, not fractional, days.
