Yes. The Sun (or the photosphere which is the brightest part of what we see) has a diameter that is almost exactly 400 times the diameter of the Moon. As the Sun is usually close to 400 times further away from the surface of the Earth than the Moon, when the Earth Moon and Sun line up, a shadow of the Moon is cast on the Earth. Right there the Moon "covers" the Sun.
As far as we know this Earth is the only place (among all the known planets - which are not all that many mind you) where the Sun is eclipsed by a moon.
What else can I help you with?
Is the angular size of the moon always big enough to cover up the sun during an e clipse?
No, the angular size of the moon is not always big enough to cover up the sun during an eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon is at the right distance from the Earth to appear to be the same size as the sun, thus fully covering it.

What do you call a lunar eclipse when the moon is not big enough to cover the whole sun?
The Moon is in an elliptical (or oval-shaped) orbit. When a solar eclipse occurs near apogee, when the Moon is farthest away from the Earth, the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than the apparent size of the Sun. So we get an "annular" eclipse.
