I wonder the sun can be completely covered by the moon every two years or so. The moon comes between the Sun and the Earth and all three are perfectly aligned when this happens the moon completely blocks out the sun and a shadow is cast upon the Earth.
This is called a solar eclipse. Although the Moon is 400 times smaller than the sun. It’s still blocks it out because the Moon is 400 times closer to the Earth. A solar eclipse can last for a few seconds or minutes full solar eclipses are quite rare.
Not everyone gets to experience one. A half solar Clips can also occur. This is when the moon only partially covers the Sun.
