How do you make a solar eclipse?
You dont make it. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, partially blocking it or completely blocking it, which is known as a total solar eclipse. When this happens the light bursts out the sides creating an annulus, or ring of light. Here is a video of a total solar eclipse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWBmKQRQsks&feature=related The annulus is at 2:22
What is the red ring called during a total solar eclipse?
The red ring that is visible around the darkened disk of the Moon during a total solar eclipse is called the solar corona. It is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, composed of superheated plasma. The corona is usually invisible due to the overwhelming brightness of the Sun, but during a total solar eclipse, it becomes visible as a beautiful halo of red or white light.
What is the ring around a full solar eclipse called?
This type of eclipse is called an "annular eclipse" and the ring is an "annulus".
What is diamond ring effect?
During a total eclipse of the Sun, as the moon gets to the point when it is completely in front of the Sun, at one point light can be seen brightly emanating from the top, while all around there is just a slight glimmer. It is said to be similar to the way a diamond ring looks and hence the name. See the link below.
When would you see a partial eclipse and when would you see a full eclipse?
I am going to show you a list of any type of an eclipse:A partial solar eclipse on January 4.A total lunar eclipse on June 15.A partial solar eclipse on July 1.A partial solar eclipse on November 25.A total lunar eclipse on December 10.
When the earth enters into the moon shadows what is the name of the eclipse?
Solar eclipse, either Total, Partial or Annular aka Ring of Fire
What is total and partial eclipse?
For example, in the case of a solar eclipse, a "total eclipse" means that at some point, the entire Sun is darkened. A "partial eclipse" means that the Sun is only partially darkened - at no point does the entire Sun get darkened. Similar for lunar eclipse. Specifically for the case of a solar eclipse, it is also possible to get an "anular eclipse", meaning that a ring of light remains on the outside (that is, a part that doesn't get darkened, in the form of a ring).

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 the ring around a full solar eclipse called?
This type of eclipse is called an "annular eclipse" and the ring is an "annulus".

What is a solar eclipse that leaves a ring around the sun?
An annular eclipse.
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.
What causes an annular eclipse?
An annular eclipse or annular solar eclipse is when the moon isn't close enough to the Earth during a solar eclipse to cover the whole circumference of the Sun, leaving a ring of light around the Moon.
