What is partial esclipse?

A partial eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, but they do not align perfectly, resulting in only a portion of the Sun being obscured. This means that observers in certain areas on Earth can see part of the Sun covered by the Moon while the rest remains visible. Unlike a total eclipse, where the Sun is completely blocked, a partial eclipse allows for varying degrees of sunlight to still reach the Earth. Safety precautions, such as using eclipse glasses, are necessary to view a partial eclipse safely.
