A Solar Eclipse happens
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
A full moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun in its orbit, which is known as the "opposition" phase. This means that the sun, Earth, and moon are all in a straight line, with Earth in the middle.
A solar eclipse happens if the moon, in its orbit around the earth, is located in the direct line of sight from the earth to the sun. The effect would be that the moon blocks the view of the sun.
Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes. * The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.
When the sun, moon, and Earth are in a line, it creates either a lunar or solar eclipse, depending on the position of the moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth.
The moon, Earth, and sun line up. We, Earth, see the moon in front of the sun, blocking it, and it forms a halo shape light.
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
The moon and earth are always exactly in line; any two points define a line. When the earth moon and sun are all exactly in line, that is different. When this happens it is either a solar eclipse or it is a lunar eclipse.

Sun, Earth, Moon. The moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
The Moon does not orbit the Sun; it orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun.
There are many kinds of eclipse: (1) Solar Eclipse: It happens when the earth, moon and the sun are on one staight line respectively. The moon acts as an obstacle so sun rays do not reach the earth's surface. It may be total or partial eclipse. (2) Lunar Eclipse: It happens when the moon, earth, the sun are on one straight line respectively.
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
Yes and when it happens it is called a solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse happens if the moon, in its orbit around the earth, is located in the direct line of sight from the earth to the sun. The effect would be that the moon blocks the view of the sun.

No eclipse can occur unless the sun, moon, and earth arein line.
