What Is a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth and temporarily blocking the Sun’s light. There are three main types of solar eclipses:
Total Solar Eclipse
The Moon completely covers the Sun, revealing the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona. This is the most dramatic type of eclipse and can only be seen from specific locations along the eclipse’s path.
Partial Solar Eclipse
Only a portion of the Sun is obscured by the Moon. This type of eclipse is more common and can often be seen from a wider area.
Annular Solar Eclipse
The Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a "ring of fire" visible around the edges. This occurs when the Moon is farther from Earth in its orbit and appears smaller than the Sun.
The Science Behind Solar Eclipses
Solar eclipses occur due to the unique alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Despite the Sun being about 400 times larger than the Moon, it’s also roughly 400 times farther away, allowing the two to appear nearly the same size in the sky. This remarkable coincidence makes total solar eclipses possible.
Eclipses don’t happen every month because the Moon’s orbit is tilted relative to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. They only occur when the orbits align at points called nodes, during the new moon phase.
