You can draw a diagram with the Sun at one side, the Moon in the middle and the Earth on the other side. A shadow falls on the Earth and anyone on that part of the Earth sees a solar eclipse.
Obviously the Moon is not that big, so when there is an eclipse on one part of the Earth, other people in many different places don't see one.
