It happens and is called eclipse. The moon can never cover all of the earth in its shade however, so the eclipse will only be total in a small area on the earth's surface. A large area around it will just be dark.
The effects of an eclipse can only be noticed in areas where it is strong enough. Generally it is no different from a normal night, only it occurs during daytime. In other places it may only seem like a cloud is hanging in the sky.

Why do eclipses happen and how?
A solar eclipse is when the sun, moon and the Earth all line up in a straight line, and the moon is directly in front of the sun, blocking its light and submerging us in darkness for a while. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is directly in between the sun and moon, and as they move, the sun casts a shadow of the Earth onto the moon.
