Earth
The Moon rotates with respect to the Sun in approximately 29.5 days. This is called the "synodic period",
Yes, the Sun is much larger than our Moon. It is, by far, the largest object in our solar system It is a strange fact that the sun is 400 times larger than the Moon in diameter. The Moon is 400 times closer to us. The result is that the two discs look equal in diameter and this accounts for the total eclipse of the Sun.
A nonexample of a sun would have to be the moon.
The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth that causes tides, which is not caused by the sun. Additionally, the moon has a surface with craters and mountains, while the sun is a ball of hot gases without a solid surface.
The moon is a natural satellite of the sun.
That would be the Earth's distance from the Sun (at aphelion) plus the Earth-Moon distance. The latter is insignificant.
Well, to put it simply, we die. The sun will never be between the Earth and moon. Not ever in our lifetime. Plus the sun would engulf the moon and Earth, destroying it.

Nothing. More - the sun, Jupiter. Less - the moon, Venus.

The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's, and 0.0092 of the sun's diameter. The distance to the sun is 391 times the distance to the moon. The moon's diameter is 0.283 of the earth's, and 0.0025 of the sun's. The distance to the earth is 0.0026 times the distance to the sun. The sun's diameter is 109 times the earth's, and 400 times the moon's diameter. On the average over a month, the earth and moon are at equal distances from the sun.
the moon is but the sun is not
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).
Possibly, it depends if your eating cheerios at 6:09 A.M.
The statement is incorrect. The distance of the Sun being 400 times farther from us than the Moon does not imply that the radius of the Moon must equal the radius of the Sun. In fact, the Sun's radius is about 400 times larger than the Moon's radius, but this size relationship is independent of their distances from Earth. The apparent size of celestial bodies in the sky is influenced by both their actual size and their distance from the observer.
