All elements that occur in nature occur on Earth, the Sun, and the Moon - but the proportions are different. The main difference is that the Sun is made up mainly of hydrogen and helium; both are relatively scarce on Earth and on the Moon.
The combination of the Earth and Moon orbits the sun. That is, their common center of mass orbits the sun. Their common center of mass is the place where the pivot would have to be if the Earth and the Moon were on opposite ends of a see-saw. At the same time, both the Earth and the Moon are orbiting their common center of mass ... which is actually located inside the Earth, because the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the moon has. Viewed by an observer on the sun, the Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the sun with tiny, almost imperceptible wiggles in it, and the Moon is also in an elliptical orbit around the sun, with much larger wiggles in it. The wiggles in both orbits repeat with a period of 27.32 Earth-days.

during a lunar eclipse, earth, sun and moon are in a straight line, First it's the sun, then earth, and last the moon.
The Moon does not orbit the Sun; it orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun.

When the earth is between the moon and the sun, a full moon occurs. In the less common instance when the Earth is between the moon and the sun and all three are in line, a lunar eclipse occurs.

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