why do eclipses like up perfectly and yet in the days surrounding the sun isn’t partially covered as the solar bodies gradually like up?

Question

Seems odd that they go from not being near one another at all (to partially cover) to suddenly being perfectly lined up.

Answer 1

I think OP is asking why doesn’t the moon & sun line up over a number of days, in a similar way to the Manhattanhenge event that slowly aligns over days until it aligns perfectly on one day.
