I read somewhere that when the earth comes between the moon and the sun, we see a full moon, how can that be? The earth will block the sunlight coming from the sun so how will the moon reflect the light, and how can it be seen from the earth?

Answer :

If earth comes between sun and moon it is called lunar eclipse.

You can see the moon before eclipse starts. Once the eclipse is started that means earth comes between sun and moon you can see the moon starts to disappear completely.

I saw the lunar eclipse twice in my life. One in my childhood and other one is recently happened in 2013.
