It is said to be apogee when the moon is farthest from the earth.
- The moon travels around 251,000 mile (405,500 km) from Earth during its apogee or farthest point from our planet.
- Solar eclipses that have an annular shape, or a "ring of fire," are among the best examples of apogee in nature.
- The unexpected nature of eclipses is a notable characteristic. The moon will be 400 times closer to Earth than the sun is now, and will remain that way for the next 600 million years.
- Due to the fact that the star's diameter is 400 times greater than that of the moon's, their discs often align nearly precisely during solar eclipses.
- Moments of totality result from this, when only the solar corona may be seen emerging from the moon's shadow.
