Answer:

annular solar eclipse

Step-by-step explanation:

An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun's center, leaving the Sun's visible outer edges to form a "ring of fire" or annulus around the Moon. It happened because the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun
