The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to the sun.
What must happen in order to experience a total eclipse?
The moon's orbit must cross the plane of the ecliptic. For a solar eclipse to happen, the moon has to get in between the earth and the sun and we will not see the sun. Remember, even though the moon is blocking the sun, do not look at it without special glasses. Not just sunglasses, but special glasses that I don't know are called.
Why would a chunk of gold weigh more on the moon then earth?
Special type of magnetivity only found on the moon and inside moon samples that is magentic towards the element gold.
What is special about the moon's orbit around earth?
There is nothing special about it. It follows the laws of celestial mechanics. It is only special to us because it is the prime cause of our tides and is our only natural satellite. It is interesting that the moon is tidally locked with earth, and as a result we always see the same part of the moon; but this too is not special.

Why super moon to close the earth?
There was nothing all that special about the "super moon"; the Moon gets that close to Earth EVERY month. The catch is that when the Moon is closest to the Earth - perigee - is rarely precisely at the time of the full moon. That combination of a full moon just at perigee only happens every 28 years or so.
Where is the moon located when it cannot be seen or when its a new moon?
In between the earth and the sun, but usually over or under the earth, except on special ocassions and that's when a solar eclispe happens
