Earth blocking sunlight reaching the moon?
The moon is only big enough to block sunlight from a small spot on the Earth ... never more than about 170 miles across. On the rare occasion when that happens, the event is called a "solar eclipse".An eclipse occurs when the Moon blocks sunlight from reaching Earth. The same is true when the opposite occurs.

Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.

Can gravity be blocked?
No. There is no gravity 'insulator'. If you tried to build a wall between you and the Earth to block the Earth's gravity from reaching you, it would not only have no effect on the Earth's gravity reaching you, but the gravitational force on you would be even stronger, because you would also be attracted to the mass of the wall. Every two masses are gravitationally attracted toward each other, and that's all there is to it. It makes no difference what's in between them.
