HOW DOES SOLAR ECLIPSE OCCUR?
Scientists explain that there is a short period of darkness when the moon moves across the sun. However, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon aligns perfectly with the Earth and the sun. This alignment blocks the sun’s rays from reaching the Earth’s surface, resulting in total solar eclipses that can create complete darkness in certain areas.
