The term is syzygy (astronomy) or a solar eclipse.
Why does a lunar eclipse have to occur during a full moon?
Because - a lunar eclipse is when Earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon. This can only happen when the sun, Earth and the moon are nearly perfectly aligned (meaning when Earth comes between the sun and moon - which is when we have a full moon.)
When the sun moon and earth are all in line tides?
When the moon is either 180 degrees from the sun, or aligned with it. That is, if you could draw a straight line from the sun to the earth and out into space beyond, if the moon lands anywhere on that line, you have spring tides. In that alignment, you'll have either a new moon or a full moon.

This is the arrangement for a New Moon.
In what phase is the moon when you do not see it?
The phase in which the moon is not visible from earth is called the "new" moon. It happens when the moon is aligned between the sun and the earth (every 28 days), which causes the side of the moon that we usually see to be in shadow.
When will you have a lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon, sun, and Earth are aligned so that the Earth is between the moon and sun. The shadow from Earth covers the moon, making it impossible to see.
When does the total eclipse of the sun occur?
When Earth, the moon and the Sun are perfectly aligned. Not very often...
A spring tide occurs during what conditions?
The earth is aligned with the moon and the sun
