The moon is revolving around Earth, so sometimes the Moon is between the Sun and Earth and Earth is between the moon and sun.

When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.

When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).

The Sun is NEVER between the Earth and the Moon.

When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, this is called a Solar Eclipse.

When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, this is called a Lunar Eclipse.
