solar eclipse happen at full moon or new moon
A solar eclipse happens only at New Moon. A lunar eclipse happens only at Full Moon.
You would most likely see a full lunar eclipse
No. A blue moon happens when there is a second full moon. A solar eclipse happens when there is a new moon and it is right between the sun and the earth. But it is possible to have a blue moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time.
The importance of Solar Eclipse: AT full eclipse you can see the curvature of the universe.
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.
Full moon, or 5th stage
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
Solar eclipse (total or otherwise): at new moon. Lunar eclipse (total or otherwise): at full moon. -- Immediately after a Solar eclipse you get a new crescent moon appearing in the sky. Obviously therefore the eclipse happens at the point when the side of the moon that faces us is in total shadow - indeed during the eclipse we are covered by that shadow. -- Immediately after a lunar eclipse, as soon as the moon moves out of the shadow, it is full.

This type of eclipse is called an "annular eclipse" and the ring is an "annulus".
In a lunar eclipse the Earth is in the middle and blocks the Sun's light from the Moon, so that happens always at Full Moon but not every time. A solar eclipse has the Moon in the middle so it happens at New Moon, but not every time, and the Moon is not big enough to shadow the whole Earth so a solar eclipse is seen only in a strip across the Earth's surface.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
