If you can see a full moon at your position on earth what type of moon will you see if you go exactly the opposite side of the world on the same day?
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
What phases of the moon would someone on earth see when the moon is at positions A through F?
On Earth, someone would most likely see less then half of a moon.
Is there a full moon when the sun is behind and a little above earth?
No, a full moon occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing Earth, which gives it its full appearance. If the sun is behind and a little above Earth, the moon would not be in the position for a full moon.

Why does a lunar eclipse occur during the full moon?
A lunar eclipse can only occur on the night of a full moon because of the position that the moon is in during a full moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned in between the moon and the sun exactly so that the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are lined up in the same way as a lunar eclipse, but the Earth is either too high or too low to cast its shadow on the moon. The only position at which the moon is a full moon is at that position since we can only see part of the lit face of the moon when the moon is at a different position around the Earth.

When do you have a full moon?
You have a full moon when the moon is on the other side of the Earth from thesun. This allows for the light from the sun to pass the earth, reflect of the entireface of the moon, and come back to the Earth.====================================The sun is always reflecting "off the entire face of the moon" ... that is, lighting uphalf of the moon's surface. The moon just has to be in the right position for us tosee the entire lighted half. When it is in that position, then we call it a full moon.

Lunar eclipse can take place only when the moon is full?
As far as I know, there are full and partial eclipses of the full moon and every other moon phase. It all depends on position and timing of the moon and the planet or star that eclipses it. Full or partial eclpise can only occur at Full Moon.
