That's the only time when the moon is on-line between the Sun and Earth, so
it's the only time when the moon's shadow can hit the Earth's surface.

What eclipse becomes when moon is between sun and earth?
When the moon is in the middle of the path between the sun and the moon it is known as a solar eclipse and it occurs during the day.
How are moon phases made?
A solar eclipse is formed on a new moon day, when Sun , Moon and Earth come in a stragiht line. The eclipse occurs on the earth where shadow of moon falls on our lovely planet, Earth.
What occurs whenever the moon phases through the earth's shadow?
MOSTLY true. When the Moon is COMPLETELY within the Earth's umbra, there will be a total lunar eclipse. (Whether you see the eclipse may depend on the weather!)The "umbra" is the darker central shadow of the Moon or the Earth. The "penumbra" is the lighter partial shadow. If only PART of the Moon is in the umbra, then there will be a partial eclipse.If the Moon goes through the penumbra without going through the umbra, then there will be a "penumbral" eclipse, but you probably won't see any difference at all; we generally cannot notice the partial shading of a penumbral eclipse without special instruments.
Solar lunar year days difference?
Solar eclipses are when the moon travels in between the sun and the earth, creating a circular shadow on the Earth's surface, temporarily. (Don't stare at the moon during solar eclipses!) Lunar eclipses are when the earth gets in between the moon and the sun, creating a shadow over the moon, temporarily.
When can you not see the moon at night?
During the New Moon phase, the moon is only up during the day but since it faces the sun it is not usually seen except when it passes in front of the sun. This is when a sloar eclipse occurs.

How is a solar eclipse formed?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth.
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.
How are solar eclipses different from lunar eclipses?
A solar eclipse is where the moon moves in front of the sun causing a shadow across part of earth and a lunar eclipse is where the earth's shadow covers the moon. A solar eclipse also happens during the day while a lunar eclipse occurs at night.

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)
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
Why lunar eclipse occurs on full moon while solar eclipse occurs on new moon day?
It's a matter of shadows. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth, which can only happen when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun; at the NEW moon. A lunar eclipse occurs when the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon, when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon - a full moon. Since the Earth is much bigger than the Moon, the Earth's shadow is also larger; this is why the Moon normally becomes completely shadowed during a lunar eclipse. The Moon's shadow on the Earth is much smaller, so only a small area of the Earth is in the shadow.
On which day of the month New moon or full moon day can a solar eclipse occur?
Solar eclipse happens when shadow of moon falls on sun. Solar eclipse cannot happen on full moon day because on full moon day earth is in between Sun and Moon and hence moon cannot cast shadow on sun.
