A solar eclipse happens when, at just the right moment, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. Sometimes the Moon only blocks part of the Sun’s light.

This is called a partial solar eclipse. Other times, the Moon blocks all the Sun’s light.

A solar eclipse always occurs about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse.  

  1. Total eclipse: The sun is fully obscured by the moon. 
  2. Partial eclipse: The moon doesn’t fully block the sun, so only a portion of the sun is obscured. Here, the moon appears to take a “bite” out of the sun.
  3. Annular eclipse: The moon is centred in front of the sun, but doesn’t cover the entirety of the surface (as seen in a total solar eclipse). A “ring of fire” shines around the moon. 
  4. Hybrid eclipse: The rarest solar eclipse is a combination of a total and annular eclipse (sometimes known as an A-T eclipse) and is produced when the moon’s shadow moves across Earth, it starts as one type of eclipse and transitions to another.
