Yes. A full moon is defined as the instant that the apparent longitude of the moon and the sun are exactly 180 degrees apart as observed from the center of the earth. Therefore, the full moon is defined to occur for everyone on earth at the same time whether you can see it in your sky or not. To the naked eye, the moon appears full for hours before and after this particular instant, so it essentially occurs on the same "day" of the month for everyone.

Hi. Only if Oz was on the surface of Earth. Everyone sees the same Moon phase. Its like looking at the popcorn stand while riding the merry-go-round, or roundabout.

specific it became into. the completed moon is a few thing that occurs to the Moon because it is strictly opposite the solar: to no longer the observer. So all human beings everywhere has an entire moon on the precise same on the spot.

well according to a schedule of full moons in Africa and full moons in Canada. for the month of september, both shedules show that the full moon happens on the 7th of sept (thursday) as to whether we see them at the same instant regardless of what time it is ( couple of hours difference) i have no clue, but that is a very interesting question, I hope you find out!

No Newton, we all have different moons. Now in Oz that is different. The green one was full but the orange one was quarter.

The earth rotates once every 24 hours, so yes, everywhere it was a full moon.
