Solar Eclipse is also known as the eclipse of the sun, it occurs when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. As a result, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth's surface and casts a shadow on it. This occurs on a new moon phase. We can observe up to 5 solar eclipses per year.
