Eclipse 2022: what is solar eclipse
An solar eclipse It is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and casts a shadow on our planet. This alignment corresponds to the new Moon and indicates that the Moon is very close to the ecliptic plane.
There are three types of solar eclipseaccording to how much of the Sun appears to be obscure to the viewers.
An full solar eclipse This occurs when the three stars – the Sun, the Moon (whose orbital plane does not coincide with our planet) and the Earth – are fully aligned and the Moon completely hides the Sun’s disk. It happens approximately every 18 months somewhere on Earth.
An partial solar eclipse, in part, occurs when the Moon is not completely covered by the Sun and occurs at least twice a year also in some regions of the planet. A bright crescent can be seen.

An annular solar eclipse or “Ring of Fire” occurs when the Moon is close to its apogee and its angular diameter is less than that of the Sun, so that at the highest stage the disk ring of the Sun remains visible.
In this case, it would be a partial solar eclipsethat is, the Moon will not completely cover the solar disk, and it will look like a bright crescent and its shadow will be cast somewhere on our planet.
