No. The phase has an exact time, but the Moon’s shape changes gradually. Near a quarter, it looks half-lit for about a day on either side, and a crescent grows or shrinks only a little from one night to the next.
The Full Moon happens at one moment worldwide, but local clocks put it on different dates. For example, the Full Moon of June 7 in New York falls on June 6 in Los Angeles.
The Full Moon of June 7 is traditionally called the Strawberry Moon. These names come from North American tradition and follow Northern Hemisphere seasons, so in the Southern Hemisphere they don’t match the season.
