An Annular Solar Eclipse is a type of solar eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, but the apparent size of the Moon is slightly smaller than that of the Sun. As a result, during the peak of the eclipse, the Sun appears as a bright ring, or "ring of fire," around the dark disk of the Moon. This phenomenon is caused by the Moon being at a point in its orbit near its apogee, which is the farthest distance from Earth, making it appear smaller in the sky compared to the Sun. An annular solar eclipse is a remarkable celestial event that can be visually striking, with the Sun's ring-like appearance surrounded by a thin, bright outer ring called the solar corona. This outer ring is the Sun's outer atmosphere, and it becomes visible during the eclipse due to the Moon's position blocking the central part of the Sun. Unlike a total solar eclipse, where the Moon completely covers the Sun, in an annular solar eclipse, there is always a ring of sunlight visible around the edges of the Moon. Observers within the eclipse path will experience a temporary darkening of the sky, and special eye protection, such as eclipse glasses or solar filters, is essential to observe this natural phenomenon safely. An annular solar eclipse's exact appearance and duration can vary depending on the specific geometry of the Earth, Moon, and Sun at the time of the event.
