Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse occurs. This happens when the moon blocks the sun's light and casts a shadow on Earth, temporarily obscuring the sun partially or fully from view.
When the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon, the shape of the shadow is typically circular. This occurs during a lunar eclipse when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon. The circular shadow results from the Earth's spherical shape, which consistently casts a round shadow regardless of its orientation.
When the moon is in the middle of the path between the sun and the moon it is known as a solar eclipse and it occurs during the day.
An eclipse occurs. When the moon lines up between the Earth and the sun, it casts a shadow onto the Earth's surface, causing a solar eclipse. When the Earth lines up between the moon and the sun, it casts a shadow onto the moon, causing a lunar eclipse.

A solar eclipse.
When the Moon's shadow falls on Earth, a solar eclipse occurs. This happens when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light either partially or completely, depending on the observer's location. In contrast, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.

Lunar eclipses occurs at a full moon when Earth is directly between the moon an the sun and also occurs only when there is a full moon because the moon is closet to Earth,s shadow at that time while a solar eclipses occur when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from Earth and only occurs when a new moon blocks your view of the sun.
Yes, Earth is between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to pass through Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between Earth and the sun causing the bright ring in the sky.
When the moon is in the middle of the path between the sun and the moon it is known as a solar eclipse and it occurs during the day.
