A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is interposed between the Earth and the sun. This means that the dark side of the moom is facing Earth. The phase of the moon where the dark side faces Earth is called the New Moon.
Think about it, the moon needs to be exactly opposite of the Sun from the Earth, so the only phase that it could be in is FULL.
Full Moon - when the moon is exactly opposite the sun
New moon because the Earth has be in a position where part of it shadowed by the Moon, so they have to be in a line with the Moon in the middle - that's new moon.
It should be obvious after considering for a moment the moon's orbit around the earth that a solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon.
There has to be a New Moon for there to be a Solar Eclipse.
A solar eclipse can take place only at the New Moon.

A Solar Eclipse can only occur at a NEW MOON. Similarly a Lunar Eclipse can only occur at a FULL MOON.
It has to be in new moon.
A lunar eclipse is possible only at the time of Full Moon. A solar eclipse is possible only at the time of new Moon.
It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon.
Only at the time of a New Moon.
A Solar Eclipse can only occur at a NEW MOON. Similarly a Lunar Eclipse can only occur at a FULL MOON.
It has to be in new moon.
solar eclipse occur when earth came between sun and moon
A lunar eclipse is possible only at the time of Full Moon. A solar eclipse is possible only at the time of new Moon.

a solar and lunar eclipse are similar because the Moon sort of a phase and only happens every thousand years. and is made of cheese
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
