5. ** Full Moon **: When the moon is on the opposite side of the earth, the sun shines on the entire surface of the moon facing the earth, and you can see a completely round moon.

7. ** Last quarter moon **: When the moon's revolution is close to one cycle, the sun, the earth, and the moon will once again line up in a straight line. The left part of the moon will be illuminated, and the right side will be in shadow.
