This type of eclipse is called an "annular eclipse" and the ring is an "annulus".
A Solar Eclipse can only occur at a NEW MOON. Similarly a Lunar Eclipse can only occur at a FULL MOON.
Solar eclipse happens when shadow of moon falls on sun. Solar eclipse cannot happen on full moon day because on full moon day earth is in between Sun and Moon and hence moon cannot cast shadow on sun.
It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
because all the moon phases have to occur before the full moon and the new moon
When the Earth is directly between the moon and the Sun, it is called a lunar eclipse. During this eclipse, Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon. Lunar eclipses only occur during a full moon.
The importance of Solar Eclipse: AT full eclipse you can see the curvature of the universe.
It depends where in the world you live, if it is a solar or lunar eclipse, and if it is partial or full. There are many factors to how common or rare and eclipse is.
solar eclipse happen at full moon or new moon
It is called a Lunar Eclipse which happens at night. A Solar Eclipse occurs in the daytime when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, creating a shadow on the earth.
You would most likely see a full lunar eclipse
A Solar Eclipse can only occur at a NEW MOON. Similarly a Lunar Eclipse can only occur at a FULL MOON.
during a full solar eclipse

It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
