Question
When does a solar eclipse take place? Does it occur on even’ new moon’s day?
Answer in Brief
Solution
On a certain moon’s day, the moon happens to come in between the sun and the earth. They come in a straight line. In such a situation, the moon being smaller in size casts its shadow only on a limited region on the earth. In these regions of the earth, the solar eclipse occurs.
