Solar eclipses can only occur at the new moon, while all lunar eclipses happen at the full moon.
Solar eclipses happen during a new moon, which is the first phase of the moon. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, which causes the moon to occult the Sun.
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.
In New Jersey, the next solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, during a total solar eclipse, where portions of the state will experience totality. The next lunar eclipse visible in New Jersey is expected on November 8, 2022. Following that, lunar eclipses will continue to occur roughly twice a year, with the next one after November 2022 being on May 15-16, 2022. For a complete list of future eclipses, it's best to consult an astronomical calendar.
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. This alignment only happens during the New Moon phase when the three celestial bodies are in a straight line. There are different types of solar eclipses, including total, partial, and annular, depending on the alignment and position of the Moon.

Yes
This can only happen at new moon.
When the moon is very nearly on-line between the centers of the Sun and Earth. (That will also be the time of 'New Moon'.)
A solar eclipse can only happen at new moon - but they don't happen at every new moon.
We see solar eclipses only during New Moon, but not every New Moon is accompanied by a solar eclipse.

It depends upon where the solar eclipse will occur and when. Australia has had many recent total solar eclipses that have been quite spectacular. It seems that Australia and New Zealand had many solar eclipses in 2012.
New moon (the Earth goes into the shadow of the Moon) Lunar eclipses occur at full moon (the Moon goes into the Earth's shadow)
Solar eclipses only happen on New moons when the moon is exactly in orbit between the Sun and the Earth.
