Type your response in the box.
When the Moon comes directly between the Sun and Earth, a solar eclipse occurs. The eclipse may be a total eclipse,
where the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon, or an annular eclipse, where you can see a ring of sunlight
surrounding the Moon. What do you think makes a total eclipse occur instead of an annular eclipse?

Answer 1

The moon surrounding it makes be believe it is it

Answer 2

Answer: Both total and annular eclipses depend on the distances between Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is closer to Earth, thus taking up a larger portion of the sky. The Moon is then able to cover the entire Sun.
