Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal\red{⫷❥A}\mathcal\green{Ñ }{\mathcal\red{S}\mathcal\blue{ W}\mathcal\blue{E} \mathcal\purple{R}}$

A solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the Earth is engulfed in a shadow cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks sunlight. This occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned. Such alignment coincides with a new moon (syzygy) indicating the Moon is closest to the ecliptic plane.

Answer 2

Answer:

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's surface.
