Total solar eclipse will occur when the moon is near perigee. Moon has an elliptical orbit around Earth. Perigee is the point of the orbit that is close to earth.

A total eclipse takes place when the moons cover the entire disk of sun

it can take place from a few seconds to 7.5 minute & sometimes for several hours.

The moon orbits in such a way that it is 239000 miles an average from Earth creating an illusion that it is much larger in size. This makes the moon's disk to block out the light fron sun.
