A solar eclipse happens when the moon moves between the sun and the earth, blocking the sunlight. It’s like when you stand between your friend and a flashlight, your friend can’t see the light anymore. Sometimes, just part of the sun gets blocked, making it look like a ring or a bite taken out of it. This only happens during a full moon in special times of the year.
