Does a solar eclipse always look the same or is there different types?

There are three types of solar eclipse.The most well-known type is a total eclipse. In a total eclipse the moon completely blocks the sun from view so that only the corona is visible.During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than in a total eclipse and appears slightly smaller in the sky than the sun. As a result the sun will appear to form a ring around the moon.During a partial eclipse the moon only covers a portion of the sun. A total or annular eclipse will only appear as such along a relatively narrow path. Most places affected by the eclipse will experience a partial eclipse. A partial eclipse may also be seen for a time before and after a total or annular eclipse.

Eclipse size refers to the apparent size of the moon or the sun as observed during an eclipse. In a solar eclipse, the size of the moon relative to the sun determines whether it is a total, partial, or annular eclipse. During a total eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun, while in an annular eclipse, the moon is smaller than the sun, leaving a ring of sunlight visible. The size of the eclipse can vary based on the distance of the moon and sun from Earth, as well as the observer's location.
