A total eclipse occurs when the peak of the eclipse, the Sun Circle is completely closed by the Moon circle. At that time, the Moon Circle is as big or even bigger than the Sun’s circle. The size of the Sun & Moon circle itself depends on the distance of the Earth-Moon & Earth-Sun. You can see the pictures of eclipse only on Eclipse Coloring Pages Universe Themes.

On Eclipse Coloring Pages Universe Themes, you can see that partial eclipses occur if the Moon Circle (at the peak of the eclipse) is only partially closed from the Sun’s circle. In this eclipse, there is always a part of the Sun’s circle that is not covered by the Moon disk.

Ring eclipses occur when the Moon‘s circle (at the peak of the eclipse) is only a large part of the Sun’s circle. This type of eclipse occurs when the Moon’s sphere is smaller than the Sun’s circle.

Related to the Moon Bulas compass in front of the Sun circle, not the whole circle of the Sun will be covered by the Moon circle. The part of the Sun’s circle which is not covered by the Moon’s circle is located in the Moon’s circle and looks like a luminous ring.
