In a straight line ; Solar Eclipse is Sun , Moon, Earth.
Lunar Eclipse is Sun, Earth, Moon.
Since the planes of the Earth's orbit about the Sun is angled by about 5 degrees to the plane of the Moon's orbit about the Earth, it means we do not see Solar /Lunar eclipse at every New/Full Moon. It is only when these two planes intersect at appropriate points in their orbital tracks, that we see eclipses.
Astronomers are able to calculate into the future, the dates of eclipses , because these tracks and intersections are predictable.

When the Moon gets between the Sun and the Earth, the shadow of the Moon on the Earth causes a solar eclipse.
