To determine which order would lead to a solar eclipse, we need to understand the concept of a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the correct order for a solar eclipse is:
sun–moon–Earth
In this order, the Sun is first, then the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, causing the shadow to fall on Earth.
