Solar Eclipse, partial or total obscuring
of the sun by the moon, with a
resultant shadow cast upon the earth.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon
is between the sun and the earth and
its shadow moves across the face of
the earth.
 Total Solar Eclipse During a solar eclipse,
the moon moves between the sun and the
earth. The light from the outer part of the
sun’s atmosphere, called the corona,
became visible during a total solar eclipse
on July 11, 1991, in La Paz, Baja California,
Mexico. The moon’s shadow on earth
appeared only as a thin band not more than
269 km .

 Many problems of astronomy can be studied only
during a total eclipse of the sun. Among these
problems are the size and composition of the solar
corona and the bending of light rays passing close to
the sun because of the sun’s gravitational field (see
Relativity). The great brilliance of the solar disk and
the sun-induced brightening of the earth’s
atmosphere make observations of the corona and
nearby stars impossible except during a solar
eclipse. The coronagraph, a photographic telescope,
permits direct observation of the edge of the solar
disk at all times. Today, scientific solar eclipse
observations are extremely valuable, particularly
when the path of the eclipse traverses large land
areas. An elaborate network of special observatories
may provide enough data for months of analysis by
scientists. Such data may provide information on
how minute variations in the sun affect weather on
earth, and how scientists can improve predictions of
solar flares.

Density Map of Solar Corona
A map of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the
corona, shows different densities in the layers of
hot gas that surround the Sun. Blue regions
indicate the highest density; yellow highlights
areas of lower density. The magnetic field of the
Sun interacts with gas layers to cause the
strange curves, streamers, and bumps observed
here. The corona consists primarily of electrons
and ionized atoms heated to temperatures of
approximately 2.2 million degrees C (4 million
degrees
