What does the phases of the moon depened on how much that can be seen from earth?
The revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon appear as if it is changing shape in the sky. This is caused by the different angles from which we see the bright part of the Moon's surface. These are called "phases" of the Moon. Of course, the Moon doesn't generate any light itself; it just reflects the light of the Sun. The Moon passes through four major shapes during a cycle that repeats itself every 29.5 days. The phases always follow one another in the same order

When the Sun passes between the Moon and Earth you have?
You have a problem. When the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth you have a solar eclipse. When the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon you have a lunar eclipse. When the Sun passes between the Moon and the Earth we're all dead, as the Sun would be 93 million miles too close.
The different phases of the moon are caused by?
Actually it is not the rotation of the earth but the orbit of the moon around the earth that causes the phases of the moon. The moon's relationship in it's orbit with regard to the sun is what causes the phases to change. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it is in a "new moon" phase because the only side of the moon that is lit with sunshine is the far side or the unseen side of the moon. When the earth is between the sun and the moon, the moon is at "full moon" phase. In between these two extremes gives us the 1st quarter and the 3rd quarter phases.
Can a lunar eclipse occur duringquater moon phases?
No. A lunar eclipse is caused when the Moon passes through the shadow cast by the Earth; this can only occur when the Moon is full.
