Don't worry about the "center of the solar system". That's just the sun anyway.

During a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are lined up along the same

straight line, in just that order. The Moon is directly 'behind' the Earth, so it's

in the Earth's shadow.

Why does a lunar eclipse occur during the full moon?

A lunar eclipse can only occur on the night of a full moon because of the position that the moon is in during a full moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned in between the moon and the sun exactly so that the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are lined up in the same way as a lunar eclipse, but the Earth is either too high or too low to cast its shadow on the moon. The only position at which the moon is a full moon is at that position since we can only see part of the lit face of the moon when the moon is at a different position around the Earth.
