hii! In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured. ... Total solar eclipses are rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path on the Earth's surface traced by the Moon's full shadow or umbra.

The total solar eclipse is the eclipse in which the Sun gets completely covered by the Moon and Solar Corona can be seen whereas in case of partial solar eclipse, the Sun is partially covered by the Moon and Solar Corona can’t be seen whereas, in case of annular solar eclipse, the moon is further away from the Earth than in case of Total solar eclipse.

Corona is visible in case of the Total solar eclipse.
