Concept in Definition ABC

The full moon is one of the phases of the moon and what takes place when the earth is located exactly between the sun and the moon. As a direct consequence of this position the angle of the moon is 0 °, while the illumination that causes it is 100%. It should be noted that due to this maximum illumination and in the total absence of shadows, it will not be possible to detect the accidents you have. In any case, it is possible to observe the rays that come from a radiated crater.

Also known as full moon, the full moon, occurs at the 14 days of the new moon or new moon, which is another of the phases of the moon that is characterized because it is located between the sun and the planet earth, in such a way that the illumination will not be visible to those of us on earth. For instance, it is also designated as black moon.

According to the time of day, the full moon rises between 5:00 p.m. and 7:50 p.m. and sets between 4:30 and 7:50 p.m.

Other singularity What happens in this phase is the

succession of lunar eclipses. The eclipse lunar is a event long-awaited and that occurs when the planet earth is interposed between the sun and the moon and then this will cause the moon to enter a cone of shadow the planet and go dark. A condition sine quanom for the eclipse to happen is that the three: sun, moon and earth are aligned or really close to each other. For this reason, lunar eclipses are only possible to occur precisely in the phase of the moon that concerns us.

Eclipses can be partial (in this case only part of the moon will be dark), totals (it is characterized because all the surface of the moon enters the cone of shadow of the earth) or penumbral (in this case the moon enters the cone of gloom of the earth).
