WHAT IS A SOLAR ECLIPSE?
For those who are unfamiliar with the celestial/astrological occurrence, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth at precisely the appropriate time. As a result, the moon obscures the Sun, preventing its rays from reaching the Earth.
This entire phenomenon is known as a solar eclipse. Solar eclipses are classified into four types: total, annular, partial, and hybrid. Furthermore, four eclipses will occur in 2022, two partial solar eclipses and two total lunar eclipses, the same ratio as last year. Solar eclipses are classified into four types: total, annular, partial, and hybrid.
WHAT IS HYBRID SOLAR ECLIPSE?
The annular solar eclipse on April 20 is a hybrid solar eclipse, meaning the moon will move in front of the sun to create what looks like a “ring of fire” before moving to a total solar eclipse, where the moon will completely block the sun, according to NASA.
