A solar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and the earth come in a straight line. If at that moment, the moon is furthest away from the earth in its elliptical orbit, it will not cover the disc of the sun completely. This produces a ring of light around the dark silhouette of the moon.
The annular eclipse, often called the 'ring of fire' is set to take place on June 21, 2020. Commonly termed as 'Surya Grahan', the Solar Eclipse 2020 is a phenomenon awaited by scores of skygazers and will be the first Surya Grahan of this year.
