When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This can result in a partial or total eclipse of the Moon.
An eclipse of the sun can only occur during a new moon phase when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. This alignment allows the moon to partially or fully block the sun's light, creating a solar eclipse.

It can only occur at new moon, when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun. If it happens to perfectly line up in front of the Sun, the Sun's light will be blocked and we get an eclipse.
A Solar Eclipse is a blocking of sun light reaching the Earth. The Blockage is caused by the Moon coming directly between the Sun and the Earth. The Words' Solar ; of the Sun (Latin) Eclipse ; Obscuring (Classical Greek).
