Do other planets block are view of the moon when you orbit the sun?
No because the Moon is closer than all the planets. The Moon can block our view of planets (very occasionally). Mercury and Venus can move in front of the Sun but they do not block our view because they are too small and too far away.
What part of the sun is the moon blocking?
If you are in the region of total eclipse, the Moon will block view of ALL of the Sun's disk.
What a it called when the moon black the view of the sun?
block* When the moon blocks the sun's light, it is called a solar eclipse.
Why does our moon which is smaller then the sun produce a total eclipse of the sun?

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.
Where is the sun when you view a full moon?
When you view a full moon, the sun is directly opposite the moon, which is why the moon appears fully illuminated. This positioning is known as "opposition" and it occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with Earth in the middle.
What happens when the moon passess between the sun an earth?
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).
During a lunar eclipse the shadow of what celestial body blocks your view of the moon?
It depends on the time of day, and year, and solar cycle. Its never the same exact point. In a total eclipse, the photosphere (and everything inside that, such as the core) is blocked by the moon but the corona is visible.
