    Solar Eclipses Worksheet

    A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the Sun's light. There are three types of solar eclipses: total, annular, and partial. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely obscures the Sun and the solar corona becomes visible. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is further from Earth and does not fully cover the Sun, leaving a ring-like appearance. A partial solar eclipse occurs when only part of the Sun is obscured.

    Solar Eclipses

    A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking some
    or all of the Sun’s light. This happens only during a New Moon, when the Sun, Moon and
    Earth are aligned in a straight line or close to it. There are three types of solar eclipses: total,
    annular and partial.

    Total Solar Eclipse:


    In a total solar eclipse, Corona Chromosphere
    the Moon completely
    obscures the Sun
    and the solar corona
    becomes visible. This
    type of eclipse is only
    visible from a specific
    area on Earth where the
    Moon's shadow falls.

    Annular Solar Eclipse: An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is further away from
    Earth and does not completely cover the Sun. This results in a ring-like appearance, with the
    outer edges of the Sun visible as a ring or ‘annulus’.

    Partial Solar Eclipse: In a partial solar eclipse, only a part of the Sun is obscured by the
    Moon. This is visible from a larger geographic area than a total eclipse.

    From left to right, the images below show a total solar eclipse, annular solar eclipse and a
    partial solar eclipse.

    How to see a Solar Eclipse?


    A solar eclipse is very rare and many people look forward to seeing it when it occurs.
    However, it is dangerous to look directly at the Sun because it can harm your eyes, and
    possibly cause blindness. To observe an eclipse, people wear special ‘eclipse glasses’.
    Sunglasses do not offer enough protection and should not be used to view an eclipse.
    Another option is to create a solar viewer with paper, aluminium foil, glue and scissors.
    Answer the following questions:
    1. Define what is a solar eclipse.

    2. Complete the table below with the three types of solar eclipse, their definitions and
    draw a diagram to illustrate each type.
