The moon would have to be in the earth's umbral shadow. Another words, the earth would have to be in between the sun and the moon.

What point of view is eclipse?
Consider three bodies (Sun, Earth, Moon) in a straight line.If the order is Sun - Moon - Earth, there's a chance that some folks on Earth will experience a SOLAR eclipse. If the order is Sun - Earth - Moon, Earthlings will see a LUNAR eclipse.If someone were on the Moon when these things happened, the SOLAR eclipse would be an umbral transit (the shadow of the Moon would move across the Earth) and the LUNAR eclipse would be a solar eclipse (or more properly, a solar occultation).
