A solar eclipse is the event in which the moon is directly between the earth
and the sun. Solar eclipses are rather rare, and only some parts of the globe
(the parts facing the moon/sun at the time of eclipse) are able to experience
the solar eclipse.
In the 'related links' section is a link to a table listing every solar eclipse that
will occur in the near future.
When the sun moon, and Earth are in that arrangement, even if no solar eclipse
