Occurs when the moon’s shadow falls on Earth

Real World Example

Imagine you're sitting in a room trying to watch your favorite TV show, but someone stands in front of the screen, blocking your view. This situation is similar to a solar eclipse, where the moon positions itself between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow over a portion of the Earth. Just like the person obstructing your view of the TV, the moon blocks the sun's light from reaching certain areas on Earth's surface, creating the shadow that we perceive as a solar eclipse.
