This is when the moon moves between the sun and Earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the sun, or solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow onto Earth.

There are three types of Solar Eclipse:

1. The first is a total solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse is only visible from a small area on Earth.

2. The second is a partial solar eclipse. This happens when the sun, moon and Earth are not exactly lined up.

3. The third type is an annular (ANN you ler) solar eclipse. An annular eclipse happens when the moon is farthest from Earth.
