A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially.Such an alignment occurs approximately every six months, during the eclipse season in its new moon phase, when the Moon's orbital plane is closest to the plane of Earth's orbit. [1]
Solar eclipses in odd series exist at the ascending node of the Moon's orbit, and even series occur at the descending nodes. Each series begins with partial eclipses, transitions into umbral eclipses (which includes annular, hybrid, and total eclipses), and then reverses back to partial. The counts for each type and their order are listed below.
