A solar eclipse happens when the Earth’s shadow falls somewhere on the surface of the moon

The placement of the umbra and the penumbra determines which type of eclipse we see from Earth

The most specular eclipse is a total eclipse of the sun.

During a total solar eclipse, the sun will look like a diamond ring

then a string of bread just before you can see the sun’s corona.

Hydrogen gas of the chormosphere will look yellow during totality of the solar eclipse.

You can see the sun’s outer atmosphere when ever you look up

at the sun.

The moon’s orbit is tilted about 5 degrees and this is why we don’t have a total solar eclipse every month.

Hands are the two points where the moon’s orbit crosses the sun’s planes. When the moon is between the sun and earth, this is when Earth experiences a solar eclipse.

You are more likely to see a total lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse. Totality can last over an hour and is visible to everyone

on half the Earth.

In the future, Earth will not experience any total solar eclipses
