the full moon always occurs
when the moon is at right angles to the direction of the sun.
when the moon is directly opposite the position of the sun.
on the 15th of every month.
when the moon is closer to the sun than the earth is.

Explanation:

A full - moon occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, so the Moon is directly opposite the position of the Sun, allowing the Sun's light to fully illuminate the side of the Moon facing Earth. It doesn't occur on the 15th of every month in the Gregorian calendar as the lunar cycle is about 29.5 days and not exactly 30 days. Also, when the Moon is at right - angles to the Sun, it's a quarter - moon phase, and when the Moon is closer to the Sun than the Earth, it's a new - moon or crescent - moon phase.

Answer:

when the Moon is directly opposite the position of the Sun.
