The Moon rotates with respect to the Sun in approximately 29.5 days. This is called the "synodic period",
Yes, the sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times greater than the moon, and it is also significantly heavier. This size difference is why the sun appears so much larger and brighter than the moon in the sky.
A nonexample of a sun would have to be the moon.
The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth that causes tides, which is not caused by the sun. Additionally, the moon has a surface with craters and mountains, while the sun is a ball of hot gases without a solid surface.
The moon is a natural satellite of the sun.
That would be the Earth's distance from the Sun (at aphelion) plus the Earth-Moon distance. The latter is insignificant.
Well, to put it simply, we die. The sun will never be between the Earth and moon. Not ever in our lifetime. Plus the sun would engulf the moon and Earth, destroying it.

Nothing. More - the sun, Jupiter. Less - the moon, Venus.

The sun is much larger and farther away from Earth compared to the moon. The sun is approximately 93 million miles away from Earth, while the moon is only about 238,855 miles away. The sun's diameter is about 109 times larger than Earth's, while the moon's diameter is about one-quarter of Earth's.
the moon is but the sun is not
When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).
Possibly, it depends if your eating cheerios at 6:09 A.M.
