Solar Eclipse 29 March 2025 : A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or part of the Sun’s light.
Depending on how perfectly everything lines up, there are a few types:
- Total Solar Eclipse – The Moon completely covers the Sun, and for a few minutes, it looks like night in the middle of the day. You can even see the Sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona.
- Partial Solar Eclipse – The Moon only covers part of the Sun.
- Annular Solar Eclipse – The Moon is a bit farther away from Earth, so it doesn’t fully cover the Sun, leaving a bright “ring of fire” around the edges.
- Hybrid Eclipse – A mix between a total and annular eclipse, depending on where you are on Earth.
The Solar Eclipse on 29 March 2025 will be a Partial Solar Eclipse.
