Correct Answer: the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun


Solution : The correct option is the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun .

When the Moon comes in front of the Sun, it blocks some or all of the Sun's light from reaching the Earth, and a solar eclipse takes place. When a total solar eclipse occurs, the Sun is entirely obscured by the moon as seen from the Earth. The solar corona, or outer atmosphere of the Sun, comes into view.
