During a solar eclipse, the moon passes in front of the sun. While this is happening, it blocks out most of the sunlight and creates a spectacular sight in the sky. The moon and sun are playing a game of hide and seek as they move across our view of the sky.
The sun is much larger than the moon so it’s difficult for the moon to completely block out the sun, which is why we can still see a ring of sunlight around the moon during an eclipse. This is known as the “ring of fire” or annular eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, on the other hand, it’s the Earth blocking out some of the light from the sun that reaches the moon. The Earth casts a shadow onto the moon, making it look like it is slowly disappearing. This is known as a total lunar eclipse.
Both of these events are spectacular to witness and remind us how the motions of the Earth, sun, and moon can affect our view of the sky.

Why can you see see the corona in a solar eclipse?
Because in a full eclipse the moon is close enough to the earth to block all the sun's disk and the light of this disk does not visually hide the corona. In an annular eclipse the moon is farther from the earth and not all of the sun's disk is blocked so there is enough light escaping around the block to hide the corona. .
