Why cant there be a solar eclipse on December 28?
No reason at all. December 28th is just as likely a day for a solar eclipse as any other.
When it is new moon should a solar eclipse occur?
Yes, but not always. The new moon phase, where the Moon is maximally aligned between the Earth and the Sun is necessary for a solar eclipse, but, just because there is a new moon does not mean there will be an eclipse. This is because the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is inclined 5.145 degrees with respect to the ecliptic, which is the orbit the Earth takes around the Sun.
Do lunar eclipses occur when the moon is in the new moon phase?
Just the opposite. The lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. The solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon. It's easy to understand why it works this way, when you consider these facts: -- Lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is in Earth's shadow. -- Solar eclipse occurs when the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. -- An object's shadow always points away from the sun.
When a solar eclipse may last over hours?

What is it called when the moon is on the same side of the earth as the sun?
