Show answer Hide answer
Answer
A full Moon.

Explanation

  • On a full Moon day, the Moon is opposite the Sun.
  • It rises at sunset and sets at sunrise.
  • So it stays visible the whole night.
  • Only a full Moon is seen from sunset to sunrise.
A Moon visible all night, from sunset to sunrise, must be a full Moon.
