What types of solar eclipse are there?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth. When the Moon completely blocks the Sun, it is called a total solar eclipse. When the Moon blocks only part of the Sun, it is called a partial eclipse. An annular eclipse is a special type of partial eclipse that occurs when the Moon blocks the entire Sun except for a small ring around the edge. Sometimes, a solar eclipse can appear as an annular eclipse in some places and as a total eclipse in others, as the Moon’s shadow moves across the Earth’s surface. This is known as a hybrid eclipse.
