Question

How does an eclipse occur?​

Answer 1

An eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned in front of the sun, causing darkness to fall temporarily until the moon moves along in its orbit

Answer 2

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 new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's surface.
