Only on some of the new moon day  the Sun, the Moon,  and the Earth lies in one line so the Sun is not visible from the Earth as the Moon comes in between both, on other than new moon days moon is not lies in the line of the the earth and the Sun so only on the new moon day the Solar eclipse occur.
