Question

In which type of eclipse does the sun become partially invisible to some parts of the earth?

(A) Hybrid solar eclipse
(B) Partial solar eclipse
(C) Total solar eclipse
(D) Annular solar eclipse [1 Mark]

Answer 1

The eclipse in which the sun becomes partially invisible to some parts of the earth is known as the partial solar eclipse. This occurs when the moon is in between the sun and the earth, but only partially covers the sun and not completely.
Hence option B is correct.
