Simple. You can't see any of the sun during a solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse can happen only in places that are in daylight. While those places are in daylight, there are, of course, other parts of the earth where it is night. So a solar eclipse can happen when some parts of the earth are at night, but it can happen only where it is daylight.

During a solar eclipse, the Moon is directly in between the Sun and the Earth; a solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow falling on the Earth.
During a solar eclipse, the shadow of the MOON falls on the EARTH.
A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun. The Moon is only about 1/4 the size of the Earth, and that is the reason the eclipse can't be seen (not even as a partial eclipse) from all parts of the Earth at once.A solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun.
