A
9
💡 Explanation:
A full moon appears approximately 9 times brighter than a half moon to observers on Earth, despite having only twice the illuminated area. This is because lunar surface dust creates a opposition surge effect, making the full moon appear disproportionately brighter when sunlight reflects directly back at Earth.
