Question

Why do the sun, the moon and the earth not lie in one and the same line on even full moon day and new moon day?

Answer 1

Because the Earth and Moon don't orbit in the same plane. The Earth is inclined in its orbit of the Sun, and the Moon is inclined in it's orbit of the Earth. As the Earth orbits the Sun, this point lines up with the line from the Sun to the Earth.

The Earth's axis is tilted with regards to the Sun and the Moon's orbit is further tilted with regards to the Earth's equator.
