On a night when you see a full moonwhere are the moonsunand earth relative to each other in space?

At the full moon, the Moon and the Sun are on approximately opposite sides of the world, with the Earth roughly in between them. If the Earth were EXACTLY in between them, we would have a total lunar eclipse. But at the full moon, the Moon is normally a couple of degrees above or below the line from the Sun to the Earth. Partial and penumbral lunar eclipses happen when the Earth is NOT QUITE exactly in between the Sun and the Moon.
