What are the long trails of ejecta on the moon's surface called?
The long trails of ejecta on the moon's surface are called lunar rays. These rays are formed when material ejected from a lunar impact event spreads out in long patterns across the surface, creating bright streaks that stand out against the darker lunar terrain.
What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
It is called an eclipse when Earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it.
What is the event called where the moon is not struck by solar rays at all?
The event where the moon is not illuminated by solar rays is called a "lunar eclipse." During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the moon. This can result in a partial or total eclipse, depending on the alignment of the three celestial bodies.
What are the bright streaks radiating from craters on the Moon?
These fine radial streaks are simply refered to as rays. They are formed from the ejecta from the explosion, from the Moon being hit at high speed. You may see Related Links for more information on crater rays.
How does the moon get different shapes?
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.
Lunar rays are apparently the same age as lunar craters?
craters... :)

What eclipse does earth move between the sun and the moon blocking the suns rays from the moon?
That would be a lunar eclipse.

How does a solar eclipse compare to a lunar?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from striking the Moon and a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This is a Solar: And this a Lunar:

What are lunar rays are the same age as?
The ray systems correspond to the craters produced at the same time. Some ray systems on the Moon are from older craters that have since been overlaid by subsequent impacts in the same area.
Why does a lunar eclipse have to occur during a full moon?
Because - a lunar eclipse is when Earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon. This can only happen when the sun, Earth and the moon are nearly perfectly aligned (meaning when Earth comes between the sun and moon - which is when we have a full moon.)
What position does a lunar eclipse happen and why?
A lunar eclipse takes place when the sun and earth are aligned. The shadow casted from the earth when the sun's rays are direct with half of it then cover he entire moon. The thicker part of the shadow is called the umbra. The umbra is where the moon is covered completely. The penumbras are the thiner parts of the shadow spanning out larger than the moon. Ex: 0<- Sun-------->(rays) 0<-Earth------->(umbra) o<-moon
