DESCRIPTION:

An annular solar eclipse is a type of solar eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth but is at a point in its orbit where it appears smaller than the Sun, so it does not completely cover the Sun. As a result, during an annular solar eclipse, a thin ring of sunlight, known as the "ring of fire," is visible around the edges of the Moon.


Annular solar eclipses are similar to total solar eclipses in that they both involve the Moon passing in front of the Sun. However, the difference is that during a total solar eclipse, the Moon is at a point in its orbit where it appears larger than the Sun, so it completely blocks out the Sun, whereas, during an annular solar eclipse, the Moon appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely block out its light.

Annular solar eclipses are still fascinating to observe, and people often travel to the eclipse path to witness the event. However, they are not as dramatic as total solar eclipses since the ring of fire around the Moon is not as visually impressive as the total darkness of a total solar eclipse.

Annular solar eclipses occur more frequently than total solar eclipses but are still relatively rare.
