Basically, a solar eclipse is an optical phenomenon that occurs when the moon is between the earth and the sun, then the moon hovers over the earth.
Quoted from Location, Monday (29/3/2021), During the lunar phase, a solar eclipse can only occur when the Moon moves right between the Sun and Earth and its shadow falls onto the Earth’s surface.

Total solar eclipse Is one of the rare celestial phenomena. No wonder the existence of a solar eclipse is always considered special.

But the Moon is 400 times closer to Earth than the Sun, and the ratio varies because of the two elliptical orbits.
As a result, when the orbital planes are parallel and distances are parallel, the new moon is completely visible, covering the solar disk.
There are actually two types of shade or umbrella, namely one part shade that is blocked from all sunlight. Ambra is a dark, slender cone with a penumbra around it, a bright funnel-shaped shadow, through which sunlight is blocked.
As announced Compass.com, Monday (14/12/2020), Total solar eclipse incident The earth moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun, and the moon moves in an elliptical orbit around the earth depending on the distance between the three objects, thus changing the distance between the celestial objects.

Description of a circular solar eclipse
As the sun gets closer to the earth and the moon fades away, the moon in the sky appears smaller than the sun.
When does a total solar eclipse occur?

When this solar eclipse occurs, the brightness or light level during the day is greatly reduced, creating a gloomy atmosphere, just like at night.
Two types of lunar shadows are formed during this eclipse, namely Antumbra and Penumbra.
In the region passing through Antumbra, the observed solar eclipse will be a circular solar eclipse.
Meanwhile, in the penumbra receiving area, some of the eclipse phenomena observed are in the form of a solar eclipse.
