Solar eclipse. View of the partial phase before a solar eclipse. Here,the dark disc of the Moon is covering about a quarter of the Sun's disc. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun,hiding all or part of the Sun for viewers on Earth. A total eclipse is one where the disc of the Moon completely covers the Sun's disc. This happens when the Moon is close to the Earth in its orbit. There is a solar eclipse about every 18 months,but totality is only visible from a long,narrow band | |
