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.
When was the moon closest to the sun it is at?
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.

Why does the full moon always rise at sunset?
Think of it this way. In order for the Moon to appear fully illuminated by the Sun you have to be in between them. In other words when the Moon is full, the Sun is opposite it in the sky, and we are in the middle, so when the full Moon is rising, the Sun is setting. Don't confuse this with eclipses. The Moon's orbit goes slightly above and below the Earth so with most full Moons, we are only mostly between the Sun and Moon, but its close enough.
