The sun.

The moon orbits the earth and is our nearest space object - sometimes it passes between us and the sun, this is called a lunar eclipse.

Venus orbits the sun. It is nearer the sun than us, so very occasionally it passes between us and the sun. This is called the transit of Venus.

How is the position of the full moon in relation to Earth and the sun different from the position of the full Venus in relation to Earth and the Sun?

When the moon is full, it is on exactly the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. A map of this would have the sun on the right side of a piece of paper, then Earth to its left followed by the moon to the left of the Earth.When Venus is full in the sky, it is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. A drawing of this would have Venus all the way to the left, followed by the sun, then the Earth in a straight line (or vice versa), as long as they are directly on either side of the sun.
