why does the moon perfectly block out the sun's "disc area" during eclipse?

This maybe just a result of visual perspective , but I was wondering
why the moon is of a particular size and orbit, where by it perfectly blocks out the
"light disc area" of the sun during solar eclipse...

thanks

The truth is that it is an extremely fortunate coincidence and nothing else
