An astronomical event where the moon passes between the sun and the earth, and the moon partially or completely covers the sun as viewed from a location on earth. This can only happen during a new moon, when the sun and moon are in conjunction as seen from earth. A solar eclipse can be one of two major kinds: a partial eclipse, where the moon partially blocks out the sun; and a total eclipse, where the moon blocks out the sun completely and the sun's light creates a spectacular white ring around the moon. Solar eclipses are frequently used in fiction to mark important, and often catastrophic, events in the plot. Updated by bot Sun, Sep 18 '22, 02:56 |
