Solar eclipses happen during NEW moons, when the Moon blocks the light of the Sun. Lunar eclipses happen during FULL moons, when the Earth blocks the light of the Sun.
Why don't solar eclipses occur on all new moon day?
Solar eclipses always occur at the new moon because the sun, moon and earth are in alignment. However because the orbits of the earth and moon are not exactly aligned with each other there are new moons when the sun appears to be above or below the new moon as seen from the earth.

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.
