Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full 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.

During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth between the sun and the moon, resulting in a fully illuminated moon.
