What is solar eclipse?
Solar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon. When the Sun, Moon and Earth are in a straight line, the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth. Due to which a part of the earth becomes dark. This is called solar eclipse. Apart from this, the Earth revolves around the Sun and the Moon revolves around the Earth. In this orbit, the Moon sometimes comes between the Earth and the Sun due to which the Sun's light does not reach the Earth or the Moon's shadow does not fall on the Earth. As soon as this shadow falls on the Earth, the Sun ceases to be visible. This is called eclipse. Sometimes, if the Moon is at a greater distance from the Earth, the Sun is not completely covered, but a ring of the Sun is visible around the Moon. This situation is called annular eclipse. This eclipse occurs only on Amavasya day. And it can be seen only from certain areas on Earth.
