There are instances where the sun, the moon and the earth lie in a straight line.In
such instances
the shadow of the moon falls on the earth and the sunbecome invisible.This is called a solar eclipse.The sun is several times bigger than the moon.Therefore,the area of the earth in which the shadow of the moon falls during a solar eclipse is smaller.In other words the coverd area by the sun is smaller.
The sun will be invisible to this area of the earth.This is called
a total solar eclipse.A solar eclipse occurs duringthe daytime on a new moon day.
