Solar Eclipse 2021

WHAT IS AN ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE?

When the Moon’s diameter appears smaller than the Sun’s, it blocks most of the Sun’s light, making it look like an annulus i.e in the form of a ring. That is why it is called Annular Solar Eclipse. When it’s a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon, however, in partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured.
