it is because the area of sun is covered by moon.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light. A total eclipse is a type of solar eclipse where the sun is completely covered by the moon, creating a dark shadow on Earth.
Yes, in a total eclipse the Moon does cover the Sun completely. As the Earth, Moon and Sun are constantly moving, the eclipse doesn't last long. It is important that you don't look directly at the eclipse with the naked eye - or your sight could be damaged.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sun's light from reaching Earth. This phenomenon can result in either a total solar eclipse, where the sun is completely obscured, or a partial solar eclipse, where only part of the sun is covered.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly in front of the sun, blocking its light. This can result in a partial or total solar eclipse, depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the sun is completely obscured by the moon, creating a temporary darkness in the area beneath the eclipse's path.
This phenomenon is known as a solar eclipse. The moon blocks the sun's light, creating a shadow on Earth, resulting in either a partial or total solar eclipse depending on the observer's location within the shadow's path. During a total solar eclipse, the sun is completely hidden by the moon, revealing the sun's outer atmosphere, the corona.
Total Eclipse of the Sun was created in 1999.
That's what "total" means. If it doesn't completely cover the Sun, it's not a total eclipse.
You can see the corona during a total solar eclipse
The moon passes in front of the sun and this causes a shadow to be cast on the earths serface. When the sun is completely covered by the moon this is called a total eclipse.
This is a solar eclipse, specifically a total eclipse (Total solar eclipse I think is how you would word it).
a solar eclipse, or a total solar eclipse if the sun is compleatly obscured.

The Sun's corona.
I am going to show you a list of any type of an eclipse:A partial solar eclipse on January 4.A total lunar eclipse on June 15.A partial solar eclipse on July 1.A partial solar eclipse on November 25.A total lunar eclipse on December 10.
July 11,2012 is the next total solar eclipse ehehehehe joke,
It is as your question states, partial solar eclipse - the moon only blocks the sun off from earth partially. Total solar eclipse - the moon completely blocks the sun off from earth.
-- During a partial solar eclipse, part of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon) and the rest of it is still there. -- During a total solar eclipse, the entire disk of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon).
