That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view. When this happens, we see the dark side of the Moon - i.e., it is new moon.

A solar eclipse can only happen at the time of New Moon.A lunar eclipse can only happen at the time of Full Moon.
It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
Solar eclipses happen during NEW moons, when the Moon blocks the light of the Sun. Lunar eclipses happen during FULL moons, when the Earth blocks the light of the Sun.
They happen during, and only during, the new moon. This is because during an eclipse the moon has the sun shining from directly behind it, and it's impossible for us to see any of the side of the moon lit up by the sun from this angle.
A solar eclipse occurs when the path of the moon comes between the sun and the earth. The moon casts a shadow on the earth's surface and an observer within that shadow would see a solar eclipse.

During a solar eclipse, the moon must be in the new moon phase.
solar eclipse happen at full moon or new moon
During a lunar eclipse, the moon is "full". During a solar eclipse the moon is "new".
it occurs in the day time!sophie griffith-lucas occurs it!
We see solar eclipses only during New Moon, but not every New Moon is accompanied by a solar eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon is directly in between the Sun and the Earth; a solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow falling on the Earth.
It should be obvious after considering for a moment the moon's orbit around the earth that a solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon.

During a solar eclipse the moon is in between the earth and the sun. The moon blocks light from the son, causing a solar eclipse. (This is during the new moon phase.)
the moon has to be in front of the earth
