Because the shadow of the moon (the umbra) is only small and you have to be in it to see totality.
The observer of a solar eclipse would typically be located on Earth, witnessing the event as the moon passes between the sun and Earth, causing either a partial or total eclipse. The specific location on Earth where the observer would be situated would depend on where the eclipse is visible from.
Solar eclipse
For the Earth as a whole, partial solar eclipses are slightly more commonthan total ones.For any one location on Earth, partial solar eclipses are far more commonthan total ones.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. This alignment causes the Moon to cast a shadow on Earth, resulting in either a total or partial solar eclipse depending on the observer's location within the shadow's path.
A Solar Eclipse is a blocking of sun light reaching the Earth. The Blockage is caused by the Moon coming directly between the Sun and the Earth. The Words' Solar ; of the Sun (Latin) Eclipse ; Obscuring (Classical Greek).

No. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, and what we can an eclipse is the Moon's shadow hitting the Earth.
There is a solar eclipse when the moon blocks the sun from the Earth. A lunar eclipse is when the earth block the sun from the moon.
It is much more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can happen from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth. In contrast, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. However, the path of totality for a solar eclipse is much narrower, making it less likely for any specific location to experience a solar eclipse.
A total solar eclipse occurs approximately every 18 months somewhere on Earth. The duration of a total solar eclipse at any particular location is typically a few minutes.

No, when the moon's shadow falls on the earth, this is a solar eclipse. When the earth's shadow falls on the moon, it is a lunar 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.
