Question

1. what happens during a solar eclipse?

Explanation:

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light. There are total (Moon fully blocks Sun, showing corona), partial (Moon partially covers Sun), and annular (Moon is too far, leaving a solar ring) types. Daytime darkens, temperatures drop, and shadows show crescent/solar - like shapes.

Answer:

During a solar eclipse, the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, blocking (fully or partially) the Sun's light. In a total solar eclipse, the Sun's corona is visible, daytime darkens significantly, temperatures drop, and unique shadow patterns (like crescent - shaped shadows from objects) appear. Partial eclipses show a portion of the Sun covered, and annular eclipses have a bright solar ring as the Moon is too far to fully cover the Sun.
