Question

Write short note on
Solar eclipses - Total and partial Solar eclipses​

Answer 1

Answer:

"A solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the Earth is engulfed in a shadow cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks sunlight. This occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned. Such alignment coincides with a new moon indicating the Moon is closest to the ecliptic plane."

"A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. ... Total solar eclipses are very rare events for any given place on Earth because totality is only seen where the Moon's umbra touches the Earth's surface."

"In a partial solar eclipse, the moon crosses in front of the sun off centre, leaving a crescent-shaped portion of the sun visible. ... During a partial solar eclipse, the moon, the sun and earth don't align in a perfectly straight line. The moon casts only the outer part of its shadow, called the penumbra, on earth."
