What phase does a solar eclipse occur during?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

There are two major types of solar eclipses: total solar eclipses, annular eclipse, hybrid eclipse, and partial solar eclipses. You can see a total solar eclipse one-hundred percent of the time. You can see a hybrid solar eclipse from certain locations depending on when it happens. And only sometimes you can see a partial solar eclipse.

Answer 3

A solar eclipse can only happen at the time of the Moon's "New" phase.

Answer 4

A solar eclipse can only occur at the new moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the full moon.
