Nothing 'near' about it. It must be New Moon in order for a solar eclipse to occur.

What moon phase for a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon ... if it occurs at all.
What is a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from a location on Earth. A total eclipse occurs when the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright disk of the Sun. A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun.A solar eclipse is when the moon comes in between the sun and Earth and casts a shadow on Earth.A solar eclipse happens when something passes over something else and hides it.A Solar Eclipse occurs each time the moon's orbit places it between the sun and the earth. When the moon's shadow falls upon the earth's surface, we have the opportunity to witness a Solar Eclipse.
What is the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between the Earth and the sun, blocking some of the light from the sun. During a solar eclipse, the moon seems to cover the sun in the sky. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth gets between the sun and the moon. When this happens, the moon cannot reflect the sun's light and appears darker in the sky.A lunar eclipse can only occur with a full moon and a solar eclipse can only occur with a new moon. In a lunar eclipse, the total phase can last for a maximum of 1 hour and 40 minutes. The maximum time of a solar eclipse is 7 minutes 40 seconds. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.A solar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Moon is cast on the Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Earth is cast on the Moon.A solar eclipse :1. Occurs when moon comes in between the Earth and the Sun.2. The Sun shows corona at its edges.3. It occurs on the day of new moonA lunar eclipse :1. Occurs when earth comes in between the Sun and the Moon.2. The Moon doesn't show the corona.3. It occurs on the day of full moon.
What is the moon phase during an annular eclipse?
An ANNULAR Eclipse only occurs at a NEW MOON. An annular eclipse is a 'ring' of sunlight around the Black Lunar Disc.
When will you have an eclipse?
The earth revolves around the the sun & the moon revoves around the earth.At one time the moon comes between the sun and the earth and they all are in a straight line.at that time moon cuts of the light of sun.This is called solar eclipse. if there is a solar eclipse in one spot one mile from there will be a regular day so where you are needs to be the question of when a solar eclipse is coming

When do eclipse occur?
it occurs in the day time!sophie griffith-lucas occurs it!
What happens if the moons shadow falls on the Earth?
In that case, a Solar Eclipse occurs. It can be a partial or total eclipse depending on the positions at the time of the eclipse. In total Solar Eclipses, the sun is completely blocked out for a short time in some parts of the world. Likewise, Earth's shadow falling on the Moon is known as a lunar eclipse.

Why doesn't a solar eclipse occur every time the moon revolves around earth?
because the moon's orbit is shorter compared to earth. there is a solar eclipse but that occurs like finding gold, they don't happen everyday. the only time, anyways, a solar eclipse occurs is only when the moon is in between the sun and earth( if you don't understand, think about it as a new moon during the day, not at night)
What occurs when earth is between the sun and moon?
An eclipse

True or false a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between earth and that sun?
False!!!! A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and Moon. A Solar Eclipse occurs when then Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth.
Does it get dark in the summer time in Iceland if a total solar eclipse occurs?
Only if the eclipse passes over Iceland. During a total solar eclipse, only a small part of the world actually sees it as a total eclipse. The path in which some of the Sun is obscured is about 6400 km wide, but the path in which a total eclipse occurs is only about 250 km wide. (The Moon's shadow is 3474 km wide.)
When you can have a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse can only take place at the time of New Moon.
