moon and not visible from Earth. When the position of the solar eclipse, the Sun, moon, and
Earth are on one line. As a result of the Moon‘s shadow will hit the Earth. Because the Moon is
smaller than the Sun then just some place of the Earth’s surface are exposed to the shadow of the
moon. Or just some of the places that experience a solar eclipse.

Solar Eclipse and ring.
Total solar eclipse: the occurrence of a total solar eclipse is took place only at the Earth’s

only lasts about 7 minutes. Total solar eclipses always starts and ends by the partial solar eclipse.
Partial solar eclipse: the occurrence of partial solar eclipse when the Moon’s surface close a
portion of the surface of the Sun.
