What is Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. Solar eclipses can only occur during a New Moon phase when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun.
There are three types of solar eclipses: total, partial, and annular. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely covers the Sun, and the Sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, is visible as a bright halo around the Moon. During a partial solar eclipse, only a portion of the Sun is covered by the Moon, while during an annular solar eclipse, the Moon appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely cover it, creating a ring of fire effect.
Solar eclipses are rare events that can only be seen from a specific area on Earth, and only last for a few minutes. It is important to take precautions when viewing a solar eclipse to avoid damage to your eyesight, including using special solar viewing glasses or projection methods.
