A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or part of the Sun's light. This alignment can only happen during a new moon phase when the Moon is positioned in a straight line with the Earth and the Sun. For a total solar eclipse to occur, the observer must be located in the path of the Moon's shadow on the Earth's surface.
