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.
How does the size of the Sun, Earth, and Moon compare to each other?

Why does the earth and moon always looks the same size?
The Earth and Moon do not always appear to be the same size in the sky. The Moon looks smaller because it is much smaller than Earth and is also much further away. However, during a total solar eclipse, the Moon can appear to be the same size or slightly larger than the Sun due to their relative distances and positioning.
