Solar eclipse


Solar eclipse on March 29, 2006.
Solar eclipse occurs when the position of the moon lies between the Earth and sun, so cover part or all of the sunlight. Although smaller moon, moon shadow sunlight can protect completely because the moon is an average distance of 384,400 kilometers from Earth closer than the Sun, which has an average distance of 149,680,000 miles.
Solar eclipse can be divided into three types, namely: a total eclipse, eclipse part, and eclipses the ring. A solar eclipse is said to be a total eclipse when the peak eclipse, the sun disc completely covered by the Moon disk. At that time, the same month a large dish or plate larger than the Sun. The size of the sun disc and the disc itself Moon varies depending on the respective distance between the Earth-Moon and the Earth-Sun.
Solar eclipse occurs when the disc partially month (when the peak eclipse) only cover part of the disk of the Sun. At this eclipse, there is always a part of the Sun's disk are not covered by the Moon disk.
Ring eclipse occurs when the Moon disk (at the top of eclipse) only cover part of the disk of the Sun. This type of eclipse happens when the Moon disc size is smaller than the disk of the Sun. So that when the disc was in front of the Moon disc of the Sun, not the entire disc sun disk will be obscured by the Moon. Part sun disk that are not covered by the Moon disk, the disk surrounding the moon and looked like a glowing ring.
Solar eclipse can not last more than 7 minutes 40 seconds. When the eclipse of the sun, was forbidden to look at the Sun with the naked eye as this can permanently damage the eyes and cause blindness.
