WHAT IS A SOLAR ECLIPSE?
Solar eclipses are one of the astronomical events that people who love astronomy look forward to the most. An eclipse occurs when the Moon obscures the Sun visible from Earth. For a solar eclipse to occur, it is necessary for the Sun, Earth and Moon to be in the same plane.
Unlike the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon. In this way, the name of the eclipse is what is obscured in the phenomenon. Regarding solar eclipses, there are up to three types, which differ depending on the distance between the Earth’s satellite and the Sun.
