Partial solar eclipse

Solar observation

Solar eclipse is the partial or complete obscuring of the Sun by the Moon. That means when you look at the sky you are surprised to see the Sun and the Moon appearing with a perspective effect and having the same size though in reality they have disproportionate sizes. In fact, the diameter of the Sun is 400 times longer than the diameter of the Moon.
