Solution

Answer
a solar eclipse happens only on the new moon.
Explanation:
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 a new moon when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's surface.
