When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, it is in its new moon phase. From Earth, the side of the Moon facing us appears dark as the illuminated side is facing away from us towards the Sun. This alignment is known as a solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the Sun partially or completely as seen from Earth.
When the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
When earth is directly between the sun and moon, it is a lunar eclipse.when moon is directly between earth and passes across the sun, it is a solar eclipse.
When the earth is between the moon and the sun, a full moon occurs. In the less common instance when the Earth is between the moon and the sun and all three are in line, a lunar eclipse occurs.
When the sun, moon, and Earth are in a line, it creates either a lunar or solar eclipse, depending on the position of the moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth.
When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.
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.
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
The distance from Earth to the sun is much greater than from Earth to the moon. It is not possible that the sun would be between Earth and the moon.

No. In a lunar eclipse Earth is between the sun and the moon, thus casting a shadow on the moon. When the moon passes between Earth and the sun it is a solar eclipse, to an observer on Earth, the moon eclipses the sun.
When the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
When the moon is directly between the earth and the sun, it's a solar eclipse, because the moon blocks the light from the sun from reaching the earth.
At the "new" moon, the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. When it is on a direct line between the Earth and Sun, that new moon becomes a solar eclipse.
The Sun has never passed between the Earth and the Moon, if it did, the Earth would be disintigrated.
When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).
The moon orbits the earth at an average distance of 226,000 miles, while the earth orbits the sun at a distance of around 93,000,000 miles.
