What Are Solar Eclipses & Various Type of solar eclipses

Description:

Solar eclipse occurs while the New Moon moves between the Sun and the Earth, covers out the Sunlight and throwing a shadow on Earth's Surface. There are 4 different types of solar eclipses. How much of the Sun's surface is eclipsed, the eclipse magnitude, depends on which portion of the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth surface. Partial solar eclipses, Annular solar eclipses, Total solar eclipses and Hybrid Solar Eclipses / annular-total eclipses these are the four types of solar eclipse. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

What Are Solar Eclipses Various Type of solar
eclipses

2
A solar eclipse is a spectacular and the rare
astronomical sight which is visible for each
individual from a limited area.
3
The Moon Eclipses the Sun
  • Solar eclipse occurs while the New Moon moves
    between the Sun and the Earth, covers out the
    Sunlight and throwing a shadow on Earth's
    Surface.
  • The Moon's shadow isn't sufficiently large to
    immerse the whole planet, so the shadow is
    constantly restricted to a specific territory.
    The region changes over the span of the shroud on
    the grounds that the Moon and Earth are in
    consistent movement Earth constantly turns
    around its pivot while it circles the Sun, and
    the Moon circles Earth. This is the reason
    eclipse appear to transit starting with one spot
    then onto the next.

Different Types of Solar Eclipses
  • There are 4 different types of solar eclipses.
    How much of the Sun's surface is eclipsed, the
    eclipse magnitude, depends on which portion of
    the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth surface.
  • Partial solar eclipses
  • Annular solar eclipses
  • Total solar eclipses
  • Hybrid Solar Eclipses / annular-total eclipses

5
Partial solar eclipses
  • Occurs only while the Moon partially obscures the
    Sun's disk and casts only its obscuration on
    Earth.

Annular solar eclipses
Occurs when the Moon's circle isn't sufficiently
large to cover the whole Sun, and the Sun's
external edges stay noticeable to shape a ring of
fire in the sky. An annular eclipse of the Sun
happens when the Moon is close to apogee, and the
Moon's ant umbra falls on Earth.
6
Total solar eclipses
  • Occurs when the Moon covers the Sun completely,
    and it can possibly occur when the Moon is close
    to perigee, the point of the Moon's orbit nearest
    to Earth. One can possibly observe a complete
    total solar eclipse in case they are in the way
    where the Moon's casts its darkest shadow, the
    umbra with help of a solar eclipse viewing
    glasses.

Hybrid Solar Eclipses / annular-total eclipses
This is the rarest eclipse type swaps between an
annular and total eclipse. At specific focuses on
the earths surface, it shows up as a total
eclipse, while at different focuses it shows up
as annular.

Secure Your Eyes!
  • Solar eclipses are only visible from within the
    zone on Earth where the Moon's shadow casts, and
    the closer you are to the focal point of the
    shadow's way, the greater the solar eclipse
    looks.
  • Never take a look at the Sun eclipse, with the
    naked eyes. The Sun's ultraviolet radiation can
    burnout the retinas in your eyes prompting
    permanent harm or even visual impairment. The
    most ideal approach to securely watch the eclipse
    is to buy wear the best solar viewing glasses
    or to project a picture of the eclipse with a
    pinhole projector
