A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, causing the Sun to be either partially or completely obscured.
How does eclipse of the sun occurs?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, causing the Sun to be partially or completely obscured from view.
There are two main types of solar eclipses: total solar eclipses and partial solar eclipses.
Total solar eclipse: This occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun, and the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the solar corona, becomes visible.
Partial solar eclipse: This occurs when only a portion of the Sun is obscured by the Moon.
The reason solar eclipses don't happen every month is because the Moon's orbit around the Earth is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
