Full Moon Calendar 2028

When are the full moons in 2028? Here’s the Full Moon Calendar 2028 to help you keep track of the 13 full moons.

A full moon occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon so that the moon looks completely illuminated when you look at it. It happens about once a month or, 29.53 days on average.
