The moon appears full for more than one day because the term "full moon" refers to the moment when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a straight line, with the sun illuminating the entire side of the moon facing Earth. The moon takes about 29.5 days to complete one orbit around Earth, so it appears full for more than a day as it continues its orbit.
the full moon is more closer to the sun than the half moon
A waxing gibbous moon is when the illuminated portion is increasing (more than half but less than full), while a waning gibbous moon is when the illuminated portion is decreasing (more than half but less than full). The transition from waxing to waning occurs after the full moon.
A gibbous moon is when the Moon appears more than half but less than fully illuminated. It comes after the first quarter phase and before the full moon phase, when more than 50% but less than 100% of the Moon's surface is visible from Earth.
Two weeks after a full moon, the moon would appear as a waning gibbous, with more than half but less than fully illuminated. It would be visibly less bright than during a full moon, with a larger portion of the left side darkened.
A "gibbous" moon is anything more than half but less than full. If it's closer to full tomorrow than it was today, it's waxing. If it's closer to half tomorrow than it was today, it's waning.

yes
Just past full. 92% (Waning) little more than a day earlier it was full.
On the 18th of September, 2010, the moon was a waxing gibbous. This means that it more than half of the moon was visible, but it was not yet a full moon.
"Gibbous" . . . less than full but more than half illuminated.
The "gibbous" moon phases occur when the Moon is more than half illuminated, but less than full.

The gibbous phase of the moon occurs when the moon is more than half full but less than completely full. It happens after the first quarter phase and before the full moon phase in the lunar cycle.
