When the moon passes over the sun blocking out the light casting a shadow onto Earth.

This happens when the Sun, moon, and earth aligned, in the respective order.

See details bellow....

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves in a line directly between earth and the sun, casting a shadow on earth. This produces a solar eclipse. This situation occurs during new-moon phases. The moon is eclipsed when it moves within Earth’s shadow, producing a lunar eclipse. This situation occurs during full- moon phases.

Answer 3

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking out the sunlight. This happens only during a new moon, when the three celestial bodies are aligned in a straight line. There are three types of solar eclipses: total, partial, and annular, depending on the alignment and the apparent size of the Moon relative to the Sun.
