Does the sun go in front of the moon or does the moon go in front of the sun?
The Moon goes in front of the Sun. The Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, so when both the Moon and Sun can be seen from the Earth (i.e. they are both in the same direction) the Moon will always be closer.
When are the sun moon and earth in a strait line?
Either a Solar Eclipse- (Sun-Moon-Earth) or a Lunar Eclipse- (Sun-Earth-Moon). These are both straight lines.
What is the arrangement of earth the moon and the sun of a lunar eclipse?

The sun moon and earth are in a line during a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun. So the moon is in between the sun and the earth. I know that and I am 12!
Why is the Moon in front of the Sun?
During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on the Earth and blocking the Sun's light. This alignment occurs because of the relative positions and orbits of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
What does the phases of the moon you see depends on?
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
When the moon shadow hits earth or earth shadow hits the moon what occurs?
An eclipse occurs. When the moon lines up between the Earth and the sun, it casts a shadow onto the Earth's surface, causing a solar eclipse. When the Earth lines up between the moon and the sun, it casts a shadow onto the moon, causing a lunar eclipse.

What causes the moon to pass in front the sun?
The moon passes in front of the sun during a solar eclipse when it aligns directly between the Earth and the sun. This alignment occurs when the moon is in its new phase and its orbital path intersects with the Earth's orbit around the sun. The result is that the moon casts a shadow on the Earth, blocking the sun's light partially or completely, depending on the alignment.
