When the moon blocks the sun from Earth's view, it is called a solar eclipse. This phenomenon occurs when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. Solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment and distances of the moon, Earth, and sun.

Why is it only possible for solar eclipses when the moon is in the the new moon phases?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks our view of the sun. In order to do that, the moon must be in exactly the same direction from our eyes as the sun is. In that position, the sun is illuminating the 'other' side of the moon. The half of the moon that we're looking at is on the 'back' side, away from the sun, un-illuminated, and we see none of it. That's exactly the set-up called "New Moon".
