Answer:

Earth, moon, sun

Step-by-step explanation:

A solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon caused by the interposition of the Moon between the Sun and Earth. Solar eclipses have a fairly short duration, they can only be seen in their entirety for a few minutes, unlike lunar eclipses that can be observed for several hours.

In general these eclipses can occur approximately twice a year.
