A solar eclipse happens when the moon (that is passing between the sun and earth) covers the sun. At same point, the sun will only be partially visible (parcial eclipse) or will not visible at all (total eclipse). A lunar eclipse happens when the earth is between the sun and the moon. When sunlight hits the earth it projects a shadow and, if the moon is somewhere in the area of that shadow, it will not be visible.
When the sun the moon and earth are in a straight line would an eclipse of the sun occur?

There are different kinds of solar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when an astrological body blocks view of the sun. If the observer is standing on the earth, and the moon moves in between the observer and the sun, that is an eclipse. If the observer is standing on earth's moon, and the earth moves between the observer and the sun, that is also an eclipse.
What two things can occur because of the moon between the earth and the sun?
Either a solar eclipse which is when the moon moves in front of the sun temporaily blocking out the sunlight to a small area on Earth or a lunar eclipse when the Earth moves in front of the sun temporaily blocking out the sunlight to the entire moon making it a blood red. Hope this helped!
