Solar eclipse means
Answers
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun, blocking it out partially or completely. The eclipse results in parts of the earth being covered in the shadow of the moon.
Before we get into the details of a solar eclipse, it is worth noting that we are in the exact point in history that allows for solar eclipses happen. Millions of years ago, the moon was much closer to the earth and, therefore, appeared large in the sky. Since its formation, the moon has gradually been moving away from Earth. Eventually the moon will be much farther away from Earth and will appear smaller. For this brief time, the moon is just the right distance away so that it appears to be the same size as the sun. It's this phenomenon that provides us with the beauty of solar eclipses.
