A Big Solar Eclipse ( Surya Grahan)
What is solar eclipse
A solar eclipse is called when a part of the earth casts a shadow of the Moon.Due to this, sunlight does not reach the earth in whole or in part. During this time, the sun, moon and earth would come in a straight line. In a full solar eclipse, the sun is completely hidden behind the moon, and that partial and annular (Ring of Fire) eclipse contains a part of the sun.
What is Ring of Fire
We do not see the Ring of Fire during every solar eclipse and the solar eclipse in which the Ring of Fire is seen are called annular solar eclipse. During Such an eclipse, the moon covers the middle part of the sun in such a way that its outer edges appear like a ring. Looking at it from a distance, it seems that there is a ring of fire around the moon. Although it is not necessary that this ring of fire is visible from everywhere during annular eclipse. This is the reason that the annular or ringed solar eclipse can also look like a partial solar eclipse.
Why solar eclipse can cause damage to eyes
During the solar eclipse, if you look at the sky with naked eyes, then the infrared and ultraviolet rays of the sun can damage the retina of your eyes. During this time one should not look directly at the sun. Even though 99% of the surface of the sun is covered by the moon, the rest of the light is very strong which can damage the eyes.
