what is a solar eclipse ? what do you mean by a total and a partial eclipses
Answers
Answer:
A total eclipse occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright light of the Sun, allowing the much fainter solar corona to be visible. ... A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line with the Earth and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun.
Solar eclipse 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.
Total eclipse-When the sun is completely covered by the moon. The sky becomes so dark that it appears to be night. Only a small area on the earth can witness it.
Partial eclipse-When the moon does not align completely with the sun and so only a portion of the sunlight is blocked from reaching the earth.
