Solar Eclipse June 2020

 

            

Solar and lunar eclipses are spectacular events that appeal to the spectators of the sky. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During this time, the moon blocks the sunlight reaching the earth and the moon's shadow is cast on the earth resulting in a solar eclipse.

                 

We can talk of three types of solar eclipses, which include a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse and an annular eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon, and earth align in a straight line.

In a total solar eclipse, it is completely blocked from view for a few minutes during the maximum phase of the solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse is seen only from a small region on Earth.

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are not in a straight line. In this event, only a part of the Sun is blocked from view.

In an annular solar eclipse, the sun will appear around the cover area of ​​the moon like a ring of fire. This is a very spectacular event that occurs when the Moon is farthest from Earth. This solar eclipse was a wonderful sight, which the world has seen on Sunday, 21 June.
