Answer:
Earth, Moon and Sun lined up with the Moon coming between the Earth and the Sun. But usually the alignment is not perfect with the Moon's longitude lying a few degrees above or below the Sun's longitude.
The Earth-Moon line and the Earth-Sun line are close to zero degree.
However, occasionally the alignment could be near perfect leading to an eclipsing of Sun by the Moon. That is solar eclipse.

Moons orbital plane around the earth's orbit and that of earth around the sun is 5.2° thua forming an acute angle.
Explanation:
- The angle between the sun and the earth and moon orbit is 5.145 degrees and thus on the new and full moon, the angle that is formed by joining the earth sun and the moon is 174.8 to 180 degrees.
- On a new one day, the alignment s not so perfect as the moon is some degrees above or below the position of the horizon. in the first quarter, the moon and earth are 90-degree form the sun and earth line and the moon rises about 6 hours after the sun rises.
