The sun is a giant nuclear fusion reactor and everything in the solar system orbits around it or is pulled into it by the sun's gravity and is destroyed. The sun gives off heat, light and radiation. The moon is a rock that orbits the earth.
The moon is revolving around Earth, so sometimes the Moon is between the Sun and Earth and Earth is between the moon and sun.
solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the sun and the earth but in a lunar eclipse the earth comes between the sun and the moon
When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.
When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).
The Sun is NEVER between the Earth and the Moon. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, this is called a Solar Eclipse. When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, this is called a Lunar Eclipse.

As the moon circles the Earth, the shape of the moon appears to change; this is because different amounts of the illuminated part of the moon are facing us. The shape varies from a full moon (when the Earth is between the sun and the moon) to a new moon (when the moon is between the sun and the Earth).
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
sun moon and earthBetween the Sun, Moon and the Earth, the Sun is the biggest.
The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core. The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.
No. In a lunar eclipse Earth is between the sun and the moon, thus casting a shadow on the moon. When the moon passes between Earth and the sun it is a solar eclipse, to an observer on Earth, the moon eclipses the sun.
Go to the moon, then the sun, you will soon find out.
