The moon is not "shadowed" during a solar eclipse. It's positioned so that

when we look at it, we're looking directly at the entire unlit side, so we can't

see any of it. The same situation occurs at the time of every New Moon.

Does the moon have to be closer to earth or sun during a solar eclipse?

The moon is ALWAYS much closer to the Earth than it is to the sun. For a solar eclipse, the three bodies have to be lined up, with the moon in the 'middle'. The SIZE of the eclipse (I.E. area covered in shadow) changes if the moon is slightly closer or slightly farther away from Earth. If the Moon is closer to the earth, then the shadowed area is larger. If it is farther from the earth, then the shadowed area is smaller.
