When the Sun and Moon cross paths, it's called a Solar Eclipse. If the Sun is in front of the Earth and the Moon is behind, then it's called a Lunar Eclipse.
Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the sun in oval shaped paths called ellipses.
When the sun, a planet, and another body are lined up in a row, it is called inferior conjunction.From the other body, the planet's disc sometimes seems to move across the Sun's disc, and this is called a transit of that planet.
When the moon is a complete circle, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, with the side of the moon facing Earth fully illuminated by the sun.
When the moon is directly in line with the sun, it is called a "new moon." This is the phase where the moon is not visible from Earth because it is positioned between the Earth and the sun.
When the moon is blocking the earth from the sun, its called a solar eclipse, and when the earth is between the sun and the moon, its called a lunar eclipse. hope that answered your question! :D
Well technically there aren't any because Pluto is not a planet but Pluto does cross orbital paths with Neptune.
Neptune's orbit and Uranus' orbit are never meeting, but Pluto and Neptune do have their orbits cross. :)
Because the Sun and Moon don't follow the same path in the sky. Most of the time they don't line up, and the Moon passes either over or under the Sun. It is only where the paths cross that it is possible for an eclipse to occur.

The Sun is NEVER between the Earth and the Moon. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, this is called a Solar Eclipse. When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, this is called a Lunar Eclipse.

well actually the moon is way far away to the sun but to us they are close but it is always called the moon but once its the moon on top pf the sun or the other way around its called an eclipse
block* When the moon blocks the sun's light, it is called a solar eclipse.
When the moon is between the earth and the sun it blocks part or all of the view of the sun and it's called a solar eclipse
A moon that is between Earth and the Sun is called an inferior conjunction. This occurs when the Moon is directly between Earth and the Sun, with its illuminated side facing away from us, resulting in a new moon phase.
