In a solar eclipse the moon blocks out the sun because the moon Aline's perfectly in our sight of the sun, although the solar eclipse can only be seen in a Pacific area these areas can be mapped and have been.
The orbit of the Moon carries it between the Earth and the Sun. The 'apparent' size of the Moon and the Sun are almost exactly the same and so a small portion of the surface of the Earth can be in full shadow (the lunar umbra). a larger part of the surface of the Earth is in partial shadow (the lunar penumbra).
A solar eclipse can occur at any time of the DAY, while a lunar eclipse may happen at any time of the NIGHT.
You can see the calculations for solar and lunar eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Site, linked below.
A total eclipse occurs when the moon is exactly in front of the Sun, blocking it completely. You would also need to be in it's shadow path.
a solar eclipse occurs when the moon's shadow falls on Earth
As seen from the surface of the earth, a solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon.
it takes place when the moon goes around on its orbit and it goes in front of the earth blocking the sun which makes it an eclipse

A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon ... if it occurs at all.
When the moon is in earth's shadow, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the earth is in the moon's shadow, a solar eclipse occurs. The moon has no 'control' over either of these events.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from striking the Moon and a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This is a Solar: And this a Lunar:
Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth.
i believe an eclipse occurs :)
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth.
when the moon comes in between the Earth and the Sun a Solar Eclipse occurs and when the Earth comes in between the Moon and the Sun a Lunar Eclipse occurs

solar eclipse or a dertonium eclipse
A total solar eclipse only occurs when there is a new moon.
which moon phase occurs during a solar eclipse?
