dangina [55]3 years ago

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and casts a shadow across Earth.

For a total eclipse to take place, the sun, moon and Earth must be in a direct line. The second type of solar eclipse is a partial solar eclipse. This happens when the sun, moon and Earth are not exactly lined up. The sun appears to have a dark shadow on only a small part of its surface.
