This phenomenon is known as a lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon, giving it a reddish tint. Lunar eclipses can only occur during a full moon phase.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
A shadow forms when an object blocks the path of light. In the case of the sun shining, the object blocking the light is you, which casts a shadow behind you. The sun's rays are not able to pass through your body, creating the shadow on the ground.
