Solar eclipse
Solar eclipse |
The solar eclipse is a form of eclipse when the Moon passes through the middle of the Earth and the Sun, and when the Sun is seen from Earth, the Sun is covered in full or partially by the Moon.
From the point of view of physical science, when the moon approaches between the Sun and the Earth, behind the moon, the incision of the sun is covered for some time, the same phenomenon is called the solar eclipse. The Earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the Earth. Sometimes the moon comes between the sun and the earth. Then he stops some or all of the sunlight, which spreads over the earth. This phenomenon is called the solar eclipse. This event always happens to the new moon.
There are three types of solar eclipse that are called Total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse and the Annular solar eclipse.
1. Total solar eclipse
Total Solar eclipse |
The complete solar eclipse occurs at the time When the Moon passes very close to the Earth, it is between the Earth and the Sun. and the Moon completely takes the Earth into its shadow area, and consequently the Sun's light can not reach the Earth and Darkness is created on the earth, then there is no complete sun on the earth. The eclipse formed thus is called the full sun eclipse.
2.Partial Solar eclipse
Partial Solar eclipse |
In the partial solar eclipse, when the moon came between the sun and the earth in such a way that only a part of the Sun does not appear from the Earth, which means that the Moon only takes only part of the sun into its shadow. With this, some part of the sun eclipses and some parts are unaffected by eclipse, then the eclipse that is part of the part of the Earth is called partial solar eclipse.
3. Annular eclipse
Annular solar eclipse |
An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are compatible with the Earth, but the apparent shape of the Moon is smaller than the Sun. Therefore, the sun appears as a very bright ring around the dark disk of the moon.
The distance of the Sun from Earth is about 400 times from the distance of the Moon, and the diameter of the Sun is approximately 400 times the diameter of the Moon. Because these ratios are nearly identical, the sun and the moon seen from the Earth are almost the same size: approximately 0.5 degree arc in the angular measurement.
Umbra,Penumbra, Antumbra |
Umbra, Penumbra and Antumbra are three different parts of a shadow, which are produced by any light source after applying it on any opaque object.
