This may seem like a stupid question, but how come during solar eclipses the moon happens to be an almost perfect for over the sun? Especially considering the fact that they are so different in size and distance from the Earth? Is this coincidental?

It is all about perspective. The sun is much farther away from us than the moon so it appears much smaller to us than it actually is. This is why the moon can eclipse the sun during a solar eclipse.
