Solar Eclipse Happening April 8th!︱Events
By Daniel
An Overview of Solar Eclipses: Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking out the Sun's light partially or completely. There are three types: total, partial, and annular. Total eclipses occur when the Moon completely covers the Sun, while partial eclipses happen when only part of the Sun is obscured. Annular eclipses occur when the Moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun, leaving a ring of sunlight visible around the Moon.
