Answer 1

Answer:

A total solar eclipse—like the one that crossed the U.S. in August, 2017—occurs when the disk of the Moon blocks 100 percent of the solar disk so that sunlight does not reach Earth. ... A partial eclipse occurs when the Moon only partially covers the disk of the Sun. The Earth, Moon, and Sun are not perfectly aligned.
