It can. It's called a lunar eclipse.
The Earth doesn't block out the light between the Sun and the Moon during a normal month because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This tilt means that the Moon usually passes above or below the Earth's shadow. Only during a lunar eclipse, when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, does the Earth block the sunlight from reaching the Moon.
Sure! What we call a lunar eclipse is the shadow of the earth on the moon. So if you were on the moon, you would see the earth block out the sun.
No planet blocks the light from the moon. The moon's phases are caused by the position of the moon relative to Earth and the Sun. At times, the Earth's shadow can cause a lunar eclipse, but this is not a planet blocking the moon's light.
The block of iron will weigh approximately six times less on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth. This means it will feel much lighter and can be lifted more easily. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon may cause the iron block to oxidize more slowly than on Earth.
Well technically mass is a measure of how much matter exists within a particular object and won't change even if you are on the moon. Therefore the mass of a 100 kg block will be 100 kg on the moon. If this is a school question then I would say it is a trick question and the answer is 100 kg recheck the wording and make sure it says mass and not weight. Weight is a measure that is dependent on gravitational forces and a 100 kg block will have a weight of 16.6 kg on the moon This difference in weight is due to the fact that the moon is many times smaller than the Earth and therefore the moon has less mass than the Earth. Gravitational force increases with mass, so the moon has less gravitational attraction to the block than the Earth would.
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and 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.

There is a solar eclipse when the moon blocks the sun from the Earth. A lunar eclipse is when the earth block the sun from the moon.
A Solar Eclipse.
When the moon blocks out the sun it is a solar eclipse.A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is between the Sun and the Earth casts a shadow over the Moon.
An eclipse. When the Earth is in the Moon's shadow, it's a solar eclipse; when the Moon is in the Earth's shadow, it's a lunar eclipse.
Because the Earth is starting to block the light from the Sun reaching the Moon.
No planet blocks the light from the moon. The moon's phases are caused by the position of the moon relative to Earth and the Sun. At times, the Earth's shadow can cause a lunar eclipse, but this is not a planet blocking the moon's light.
the sun rays always reaching to the moon. when the earth block the sun rays from reaching the moon, the lunar eclipse can be formed. But the moon revolves round the earth, the blocks are removing from the moon. so the moon got different shapes.
The block of iron will weigh approximately six times less on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth. This means it will feel much lighter and can be lifted more easily. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon may cause the iron block to oxidize more slowly than on Earth.
We see a solar eclipse, when the moon passes across the sun, because of where we are viewing the phenomena from.
