A solar eclipse happens when the Moon moves in front of the Sun, blocking its light. Imagine the Sun is like a big, bright lamp in the sky, and the Moon is a smaller ball that sometimes passes between you and the lamp, when it does, it covers part or all of the lamp’s light. That's what we see as a solar eclipse. It feels magical because it only happens once in a while!
Examples
- During an eclipse, it feels like the sky is taking a nap.
