When does solar eclipse take place? (1) When the sun is between the moon and earth (2) When the earth is between the moon and sun (3) When the moon is between the sun and earth (4) When the moon does not lie on the line joining the sun and earth

1 Answer

Answer :

(3) When the moon is between the sun and earth Explanation: A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth.
