The Earth's orbit around the sun, or the ecliptic plane, is where the Moon crosses at a "node." The moon's orbit only crosses Earth's solar orbit every six months because the moon's orbital plane around the Earth is inclined by 5 degrees with regard to Earth's orbit around the sun (approximately).
When a moon or planet blocks the Sun's light, an eclipse occurs. The two types of eclipses that can occur on Earth are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.
When the Moon crosses a node on the nodal line connecting the Earth and the Sun, a solar eclipse takes place.
