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 the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
The Sun is NEVER between the Earth and the Moon. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, this is called a Solar Eclipse. When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, this is called a Lunar Eclipse.
When the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon, its shadow falls on the moon, causing a Lunar Eclipse.
If I understand the question as it is written, you are asking what it is called when the moon is between the sun and Earth. That would be called a 'solar eclipse.' If you have the sun blocked by the Earth stopping the moon from getting light it would be a 'lunar eclipse.'
When the Earth is directly between the moon and the Sun, it is called a lunar eclipse. During this eclipse, Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon. Lunar eclipses only occur during a full moon.
