Can a total solar eclipse happen during sunrise sunset or twilight in relation to an observer?
It can happen at any time of day - while the Sun is above the horizon, of course, otherwise you won't see a solar eclipse.
Does the solar eclipse happen during night?
A solar eclipse can happen only in places that are in daylight. While those places are in daylight, there are, of course, other parts of the earth where it is night. So a solar eclipse can happen when some parts of the earth are at night, but it can happen only where it is daylight.
Why does a solar eclipse happen during the day?
A solar eclipse happens during the day because it occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting its shadow on Earth's surface. The Moon blocks the sunlight, causing a temporary darkness on Earth known as the eclipse. However, not everyone on Earth experiences a solar eclipse during the day as the eclipse's visibility depends on the viewer's location.
Why can eclipses only occur during a certain moon phase?
That is NOT the case. A solar eclipse has to happen DURING the day time but from a particular location on Earth the eclipse may be seen as the Sun is rising or setting (in other words at any time of the day).Note, while a solar eclipse is not constrained to happening at the MIDDLE of the day it has to happen DURING daytime because the clipse is caused by the Moon's shadow, so the Moon has to be between the Earth and the day time Sun for this to happen.

Does the earth's shadow make night on the moon?
No. It causes and eclipse, so it is darker, but not actually night time. Like on Earth, night on the moon is when the a part of the Moon is not facing the Sun.

Why doesn't a solar eclipse occur every time the moon revolves around earth?
because the moon's orbit is shorter compared to earth. there is a solar eclipse but that occurs like finding gold, they don't happen everyday. the only time, anyways, a solar eclipse occurs is only when the moon is in between the sun and earth( if you don't understand, think about it as a new moon during the day, not at night)
