What is the blocking of sunlight to the moon that occurs when earth is directly between the sun and 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 is the earth between the moon and sun?
When the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
What happens when the moon is directly between the sun and the earth?
When the moon is directly between the sun and the earth, it is a solar eclipse. The moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. This phenomenon can only occur during a new moon phase.
What do you call the moon is directly in line with the sun?
When the moon is directly in line with the sun, it is called a "new moon." This is the phase where the moon is not visible from Earth because it is positioned between the Earth and the sun.
Why are the craters on the moon all perfectly circular?
It can not be because the moon has no atmosphere or gravity....in fact many craters would then have a parabolical shape because all meteorites can not impact with the moon at an exact vertical angle. So why can it be? It is because the theories of the moon being part of a very young earth is simply not true. Earth with it's much stronger gravitational pull should attract far more meteorites away from the moon, had this been the case. Also, the moon, being so close to earth, is protected by the earth from meteorite strikes directly in line with the earth. Earth's gravity would not allow meteorites to hit the moon directly behind it. Missing earth, the meteorites will definitely not impact with the moon directly behind earth. Many craters are on the side of the moon facing earth, so how did these meteorites get past earth to stirke the moon exactly face on? Remember that the moon is in terms of the universe, very close to earth therefore earth is shielding the moon against many many meteorite strikes from directly behind earth itself. Sorry, but I can not answer this question!

What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
What will happen if the earth get between the sun and moon?
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.
When is the earth between the moon and sun?
When the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
When the earth is between the sun and the moon when is the moon up?
When the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon, its shadow falls on the moon, causing a Lunar Eclipse.
Why don't people on Earth see an eclipse of the moon every full Moon phase?
The Moon orbits around the Earth on an angle so it usually does not go directly behind the Earth. When it does move directly behind the earth, that is when we see a lunar eclipse.
What occurs at a full moon when earth is directly between the moon and sun?

What is in orbit with the Earth?
The moon. The earth is in orbit around the sun, but the moon goes with it, orbiting the earth directly and orbiting the sun indirectly.
Why does the Moon revolve around Earth and not directly around the Sun?
The Moon and Earth are closer in mass than they are to the Sun.
