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.
How is the moon able to block the sun if it is so much smaller?
The moon can block the sun despite being much smaller because it is much closer to Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. The alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows the moon to cover the sun's disk from certain vantage points on Earth, creating the effect of the sun being blocked. This phenomenon is a result of the relative sizes and distances of the celestial bodies involved.
