How can the moon block out the sun during a solar eclipse when the sun is so much larger than the moon?
The moon can block the sun during an eclipse in the same way as your thumb can block (or eclipse) the moon. A smaller object viewed at a closer distance can appear larger than a much larger object that is further away.
What is a solar eclipse that leaves a ring around the sun?
A solar eclipse that leaves a ring around the sun is known as an annular solar eclipse. This type of eclipse occurs when the moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the sun, resulting in a ring of sunlight being visible around the moon's silhouette during the peak of the eclipse.
What is the moon phase during an annular eclipse?
During an annular eclipse, the moon phase is usually a "new moon." This means that the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with only a small portion of its illuminated side facing the Earth.
Why is only part of the earth in shadow during a solar eclipse?

What is the difference between a partial solar eclipse and a total solar eclipse?
The differnence between a total solar eclipse and a partial solar eclipse is that a total solar eclipse you can see the moon appear to cover the sun completely and then the sky becomes dark that you can see the stars and a total solar eclipse lasts no longer than about seven minutes. The partial solar eclipse is similar to a total solar eclipse except that the moon never completely covers the sun. From- Amanda amondo
Why does a lunar shadow never cover the earth completely?
A lunar shadow never covers the Earth completely during a lunar eclipse because the moon is much smaller in size compared to the Earth. Since the moon's shadow is cast onto a portion of the Earth, not the entire planet, it cannot cover the entire Earth at once.

Which type of eclipse occurs when the moon appears too small to completely cover the sun and only a ring appears around the moon?
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is at apogee, which is the farthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear smaller and unable to fully cover the sun. This results in a ring of sunlight called the "ring of fire" that is visible around the moon during the eclipse.
Does the moon completely covers the sun in a total solar eclipse?
That's what "total" means. If it doesn't completely cover the Sun, it's not a total eclipse.
Does a moon completely cover the sun in a total solar eclipse?
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.
What would happen during a total solar eclipse if you decrease the size of the moon?
If the size of the moon is decreased during a total solar eclipse, it would not fully cover the sun, resulting in a partial eclipse instead of a total eclipse. This would mean that the sun would not be completely blocked out, and the sky would not become as dark as it would during a total eclipse.
A ring eclipse is?
Also known as Annular, it would be a total Solar eclipse if the Moon were nearer the Earth at the time (the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle). The further the Moon is from the Earth, the smaller it appears and thus cannot completely cover the Sun.

What is antumbra?
The antumbra is the region of a shadow that is partially shaded and partially illuminated by a light source, such as during a solar eclipse when the moon does not entirely cover the sun. It is the area where the light source is not completely blocked, creating a dimmer shadow than the umbra.
When the Moon's disk completely cover the sun?
That's called a solar eclipse. It can sometimes happen at new moon.
