Study Notes

A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on certain parts of the Earth, making it seem like the Sun has disappeared.
There are three main parts during a Solar Eclipse: Umbra (total eclipse where the Moon completely covers the Sun), Antumbra (annular eclipse where the Moon is in front of the Sun but doesn't cover it entirely), and Penumbra (partial eclipse where only a part of the Sun is visible).
It's important not to look at a Solar Eclipse with bare eyes due to harmful UV rays.
A total Solar Eclipse can last up to seven and a half minutes.
The demonstration using two balls (Earth and Moon) and a torch (Sun) shows how a Solar Eclipse works, with the shadow of the Moon falling on the Earth.
