Occurs when the moon’s shadow falls on Earth
Real World Example
Imagine trying to see your favorite TV show, but someone stands directly in front of the screen, blocking your view. This is similar to a solar eclipse, where the moon moves between the Earth and the sun, obstructing the sunlight from reaching us. Just as the person blocks the TV, casting their shadow on you, the moon's shadow falls on Earth, creating a solar eclipse by temporarily blocking the sun's light.
