The event that occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun is called a solar eclipse. During this occurrence, the Moon temporarily blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth, leading to a noticeable darkening of the sky in the path of totality. Solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Total solar eclipses offer a rare opportunity to observe the solar corona and other celestial phenomena. These events have fascinated humanity throughout history and are often celebrated with public viewing events and educational activities focused on astronomy.
