A natural event that occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun is called a solar eclipse. During this phenomenon, the Moon obscures the Sun, either partially or completely, from the perspective of certain locations on Earth. Total solar eclipses are rare and happen in specific areas, while partial eclipses can be seen from a broader range. Solar eclipses can create spectacular visual effects, and the day may temporarily darken, allowing astronomical phenomena, such as the Sun's corona, to be visible. Eclipses have been observed and studied for centuries, holding cultural and scientific significance.
