Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\text{The Moon}}$

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun.

The Moon casts a shadow over the Earth, fully or partially blocking out sunlight.

Because of how the Moon is positioned at these times, solar eclipses only occur during the new moon phase. However, not every new moon comes with a solar eclipse.
