Answer:

Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view. (short)

Explanation:

In a solar eclipse, the Moon partly or fully blocks the light from the Sun. So the order is Sun, Moon, Earth, in a more-or-less direct line.

There are three types of solar eclipse:

Total: the Moon’s disc completely covers the Sun at totality;

Partial: the Moon only partially covers the Sun, off-centre. This is seen from within the eclipse’s path, but not within the path of totality (where observers see a total eclipse). A partial eclipse looks like a perfectly round bite taken out of the Sun;

Annular: at mid-eclipse, the Moon is centrally over the Sun, but does not completely block it: a thin ring of the Sun is visible all around the Moon. This is often called the “Ring of Fire”.

Only the total eclipse is safe to see with the naked eye, and then only during the minute or so of totality. Make sure you’re using a strong solar filter during all other times. (Long)

During the solar eclipse,  Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a straight line.

  • A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth(opens in new tab).
  • A solar eclipse can only occur during the new moon phase, when the moon passes squarely between the sun and the Earth, casting its shadows on the planet's surface.
