What happens when the moon passes through the earth and the sun?

Answer 1

full moon phase

When the earth is between the moon and the sun, we can see the moon's face lit up. If they are all in a direct line, then we have a lunar eclipse making it harder to see the moon, as it is in the earth's shadow. If they are reasonably straight, but the earth does not block the sunlight, then we have a full moon.

Answer 2

The sun doesn't come between the earth and the moon. The moon orbits round the earth, and both earth and moon orbits round the sun. A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes across the sun and a shadow is cast.

Answer 3

The Moon does not pass through either the Earth or the Sun.


I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I think you may be asking about
the situation where the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun.

In that event, the Moon is in the New Moon phase, and none of it is visible from Earth.
This is a regular occurrence, averaging once every 29.53 days.

If the alignment is close enough ... if the Moon's orbit happens to take it near enough
to the direct line between the Sun's center and the Earth's center ... then its shadow
may fall somewhere on the Earth's surface; any people standing within that small area
experience a solar eclipse. Over a long period of time, these average 2 or 3 every year.
