Solar eclipse is an astronomical event. This is because the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun. There are three types of solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when such a situation occurs between the Sun, the Moon and the Earth that the Moon completely blocks sunlight from reaching the Earth. In this situation the full shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth and it becomes dark. This is called total solar eclipse. When the shadow of the Moon does not cover the entire area and covers only a part of the Earth, it is called a partial solar eclipse. Apart from total and partial solar eclipse, another method of solar eclipse is annular solar eclipse. In this situation the sun starts looking like a ring of fire. This happens when the Moon is visible smaller than the Sun in the sky. Due to this, it does not cover the Sun completely and a ring is visible in the sky.
