It isn't; it's a new (or dark) moon. You're standing on the Earth in the daytime on a sunny day. The sun goes dark for a few minutes because the moon is between you and the sun. Full moon is high in the sky at midnight.
solar eclipse happen at full moon or new moon
During a lunar eclipse, the moon is "full". During a solar eclipse the moon is "new".
A solar eclipse only can occur at the time of the New Moon,but doesn't occur at the large majority of them.

If you "think" about it - it has to be a full moon.
A solar eclipse happens only at New Moon. A lunar eclipse happens only at Full Moon.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
It has to be in new moon.
because when an eclipse takes place the moon, sun, and earth have to be lined up directly. and in this position the moon is full. in a solar eclipse the moon would be new
Yes, because the moon is is not covered by anything when the solar eclipse occurs.
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.
No. To get a solar eclipse the moon has to be in a position between the sun and the earth, this happens only round the time of the new moon (when there is little or no moon visible). When the moon is full, the earth is between the sun and the moon (there could therefore be a "lunar" eclipse).
