Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking or partially blocking the Sun's light. This alignment causes the area on Earth underneath the Moon's shadow to experience a temporary darkening, which can range from a partial shadow (partial eclipse) to total darkness (total eclipse). The type and visibility depend on the positions and distances of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Solar eclipses are rare and fascinating events that highlight the precise celestial mechanics of our solar system. They typically last only a few minutes, offering a spectacular view of the shadow cast by the Moon.
