Answer:

Because they only APPEAR to be moving behind the moon. They obviously CANNOT actually go behind it, the clouds are on Earth and the Moon is orbiting earth at a great distance.

The Sun and the moon are VERY bright, compared to the sky around them. Simple experiments at home will show you, for yourself, how something can appear to go behind a very bright object, when you know its over top of it. You can do this with a light bulb or bright light, and for example, camera film over top of the light. You can see it looks like the film ISNT overlapping the light, but it only appears that way because the light is SO BRIGHT it passes through the film entirely- to a camera or our eyes! In reality, the film is absolutely over top of the light.

Clouds are not solid objects really. They are made of water droplets, and there are many different types of clouds with different densities. Extremely thin clouds will allow ALL the Sun or Moons light through- making it appear that they move behind the sun or moon. Other more dense, rain clouds for example, with more water in them, may NOT allow all the light straight through, resulting in the appearance of a cloud passing in front of the sun or moon.

Take it a step further, to prove to yourself this is indeed whats happening with the Moon: Watch clouds moving across a NON FULL MOON. A crescent moon, where a large part of the moons “circle” is darkened. We know its still the spherical moon. Watch the clouds. You will find that NO clouds moving across the darkened part of the moon appear to move behind it. The reason is because its dark- no bright light to create the illusion.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
