Answer:
As the moon is closest to the earth during perigee, it can block the sun fully and so total solar eclipse is possible. Depending upon the tilt of the moon’s orbit, it can be a partial or total solar eclipse. Annular solar eclipse is possible only when the moon is far away from the earth where it cannot fully block the sun. So, annular solar eclipse is not possible when the moon is at its perigee.

Answer:
Total solar eclipse will occur when the moon is near perigee. Moon has an elliptical orbit around Earth. Perigee is the point of orbit that is close to earth. A total eclipse takes place when the moon covers the entire disk of sun.
