The point where the moon crosses the path of the sun is called the lunar node. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_node
The path that the moon follows around the Earth is called an orbit. The planets going around the sun is called revolution. The moon goes around the Earth in a month.

No, by definition a body must revolve around the sun in its own path to be planet. The moon has a path around earth and the sun.
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
orbit, which is the curved path that a planet takes as it revolves around the sun.
From an observer on Earth, both the sun and the moon appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the Earth. The sun and the moon also appear to move across the sky in an arc, with the sun following a daily path and the moon following a monthly path.
Earth's path around the Sun is called Earth's Orbit.
The strip of the sky in which the Sun, Moon, and bright planets appear to move is called the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun takes through the sky over the course of a year due to the Earth's orbit around it. It is also the path that the Moon and planets generally follow, staying close to this line in the sky.
earth's path around the sun is its orbit
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon is in the direct path between the Sun and Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is in the direct path between the Sun and the Moon.
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.
