An eclipse of the Moon can only occur during a Full Moon because?

A lunar eclipse is caused by the Earth's shadow covering the moon. For this to happen, the Earth must be in between the Sun (the source of light) and the moon. The moon's light is caused by reflected light from the Sun, and so a full moon also occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun (but a lunar eclipse does not occur every full moon because the moon also moves up and down slightly as it orbits the Earth).
