Difference between Solar eclipse and Partial Solar eclipse

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon orbits between the Sun and Earth, thus casting a shadow on Earth. It then fully or partially blocks the Sun’s light in some areas. In a partial solar eclipse, the Moon and Sun are not perfectly aligned, so the Moon does not completely cover the Sun, thus letting out only some specs of the light. For those who are unaware, there are 4 types of eclipses. Total, Annular, Partial and Hybrid. This year, there will be four eclipses, that includes two total lunar eclipses and two partial solar eclipses.

How should you watch the eclipse?

Never watch the eclipse with naked eyes. Always wear sunglasses or use an X-Ray card to view the eclipse. It protects your eyes from the powerful U-V rays. The safest way to see it is by watching it on TV or through broadcasting platforms.
