A solar eclipse happens when the moon crosses the suns path during the day.

when the moon is completely covering the sun, it is a total solar eclipse.

if not, then it is partial solar eclipse

the picture is that of a total one.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is wholly or partially obscured. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth, and the moon casts its shadow on the surface of the earth. It's not fatal.

it occurs when the moon pases through between the earth and the sun, blocking the light of the sun in a certain place on earth forming a shadow , there are 2 kinds of solar eclipse:

the total solar eclipse and the partial solar eclipse.
