A solar eclipse is where the moon obscures the sun from observers on earth, the moon is between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun out to us on earth. The moon is in a new moon phase at this point, we cant see it before or after the eclipse, as the sunlight reflecting back off its surface is on the other side to us.

How is a solar eclipse formed?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth.
What do you call a moon that is between earth and sun?
A NEW MOON. However, the planer of the Moon's orbit about the Earth is about 5 degrees different from the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun. Consequently, at every New Moon there is NOT a Solar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse only occurs when the two planes cross directly at a New Moon, then you have a Solar Eclipse. You do not see other New Moon's because the Sun's light is so bright, that it overtakes the dark patch of the Moon.
What is a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from a location on Earth. A total eclipse occurs when the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright disk of the Sun. A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun.A solar eclipse is when the moon comes in between the sun and Earth and casts a shadow on Earth.A solar eclipse happens when something passes over something else and hides it.A Solar Eclipse occurs each time the moon's orbit places it between the sun and the earth. When the moon's shadow falls upon the earth's surface, we have the opportunity to witness a Solar Eclipse.

Solar eclipse
What the moon control the solar or lunar eclipse?

What phrase is the moon when there is a total solar eclipse?
A total solar eclipse only occurs when there is a new moon.
What is the difference between a solar eclipse and and lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun and the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth, solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular. A total eclipse is when the Moon obscures the Sun entirely. A partial eclipse is when the Moon only covers a portion of the Sun. Because the Moon's orbit about the Earth is not perfectly circular, sometimes it is slightly farther away from the Earth. If a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is at the far point in its orbit, the Moon will not cover the Sun entirely. A thin ring, or annulus, of sunlight will be visible around the Moon. This kind of eclipse is called an annular eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and Sun. Lunar eclipses are either total or partial, depending upon whether the Moon moves completely into the Earth's shadow or not.

Where is the moon in it's orbit at the time of a solar eclipse?
During a solar eclipse the moon is in between the earth and the sun. The moon blocks light from the son, causing a solar eclipse. (This is during the new moon phase.)
Why solar and lunar eclipse happened?
when the moon comes in between the Earth and the Sun a Solar Eclipse occurs and when the Earth comes in between the Moon and the Sun a Lunar Eclipse occurs
