Question

Diamond ring occurs in which type of solar eclipse?

• A.
  Total Solar Eclipse
• B.
  Partial Solar Eclipse
• C.
  Annular Solar Eclipse
• D.
  Hybrid Solar Eclipse

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Annular Solar Eclipse

Annular Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon's disc is not large enough to cover the entire disc of the Sun, and the Sun's outer edge remains visible to form a ring of fire in the sky. It looks like a diamond ring in the sky.
Partial Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon only partially covers the Sun's disc and Total Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun.
Hybrid Solar Eclipse occurs when the same eclipse changes from an annular to a total solar eclipse or vice versa.
