If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).

The moon's free body diagram would include only two forces: the gravitational force pulling it towards the Earth and the centrifugal force pushing it away from the Earth due to its orbit.
Because at most full moons the Moon passes above or below the Sun and not actually right in front of it. That's because the Moon has a tilted orbit. I can't draw a diagram on here so you'll have to do your own homework :)
A solar eclipse diagram is commonly referred to as a "solar eclipse map" or "solar eclipse path diagram." It illustrates the path of the moon's shadow as it passes over the Earth during a solar eclipse.
Solar and lunar eclipses involve objects that are immensely larger in size than what can be accurately depicted on a typical diagram, making it impossible to draw them to scale. The distances and sizes involved in these celestial events are on a massive scale that cannot be accurately represented in a compact diagram.
No, the moon is not a hologram. It is a tangible celestial body that orbits Earth.
Alan Bean, who flew on Apollo 12, became an artist after leaving NASA. He paints many of the things that the astronauts saw and did on the moon.
