Nothing 'blocks' our view of the moon each night.
Since the moon is a sphere (the shape of a ball), the sun can only light 1/2 of it, so there's always
1/2 of it that's not lighted. We can't see any of that part, even though there's nothing blocking it.

When the visible bright part of the Moon is increasing in size, the term "waxing" is used. When the visible part of the Moon is less and less illuminated each night, the term "waning" applies.
It means that it's the night of the new moon. Inuyasha is a half demon, and part of his being a half demon means that every new moon, for one full night inuyasha is a human. So when he has black hair, it's the night of the full moon and he's a human.
The lighted part of the moon always faces in the direction of the sun.(Hint: That's how it becomes lighted.)When the lighted part of the moon faces in the direction of the earth,the moon is Full ... at least as far as we on earth are concerned.
You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts. This is easier when only a small part of the moon appears to be lit, as a brighter moon glares out the darker part making it harder to see.
What changes is the part of the Moon that is illuminated. We see the illuminated part of the Moon better than the dark part.
The Earth blocks out some of the light from the sun going to the moon so a part of it has no light
After the new moon, the part of the moon that is visible to us grows in size as it progresses towards the full moon phase. This phase is known as the waxing phase, during which the illuminated part of the moon gradually increases in size each night.
The moon orbits around the Earth and reflects the sun at night when that part of the Earth is turned away from the sun, while the other side of Earth's sphere is turned toward the Sun, so that the Sun and moon give day and night to each part of the Earth.
a solar eclipse only happens at day and blocks the sun only the outer part of the sun is shown. a lunar eclipse only happens at night and the sun does not light the moon so the it isn't seen at night
Because the earth blocks part of the light coming from the sun so only part of the moon is alluminated, causing it to look like it is changing shape.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely blocks the sun from part of the Earth, essentially turning day into night. A total lunar eclipse occurs when Earth blocks all sunlight from reaching the moon save for the small amount that is refracted through the atmosphere.
During a solar eclipse, it is the shadow of the moon that travels across part of the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. This creates the phenomenon where the moon blocks the sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing a temporary darkness known as the eclipse.
Only during a lunar eclipse, which can only happen during a full moon. The visible phases of the moon are caused by it changing its position relative to Earth and the sun. The visible portion is the moon's day side; the side facing toward the sun. The unlit portion is the night side, facing away from the sun.

The moon of course isn't really changing shape. It's all about the sun. The lit part of the moon you see is the part of the moon in daylight. The shadowed part is experiencing the moon's night time. These normal phases of the moon have nothing to do with earth casting a shadow on the moon.
