A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon eclipses the Sun. This means that the Moon, as it orbits the Earth, comes in between the Sun and the Earth, thereby blocking the Sun and preventing any sunlight from reaching us. There are four types of solar eclipses– partial solar eclipse, annular solar eclipse, total solar eclipse, and hybrid solar eclipse.
