Explain how the sun moon and earth are positioned relative to each other during a new moon and how this alignment changes to produce a full moon?
Asolar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully covers the Sun as viewed from some location on Earth. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth

About Moon
The moon is a planet that revolves around the Earth. Reflection from the sun's rays make the moon 'shine'; it does not give out light of its own. In ancient times the Moon was thought to represent the feminine nature, while the Sun was thought to represent the more active, male nature.
