A total eclipse

A total eclipse occurs when the sun is completely obscured by the moon. The intensely bright disk of the sun is replaced by the dark silhouette of the moon, and the much fainter corona is visible. During any one eclipse, totality is visible only from at most a narrow track on the surface of the earth.

An annular eclipse

An annular eclipse occurs when the sun and moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the moon is smaller than that of the sun. Hence the sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the outline of the moon.
