That's a solar eclipse. If you are in a place where the sun appears partly blocked,

then you experience a 'partial' solar eclipse. If you are in a place where the sun

appears completely blocked, then you experience a 'total' solar eclipse.

What causes a solar eclipse to occur?

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. The Moon appears about the same size as the Sun because it is closer to the Earth -- so it can block much of the light from the Sun as it passes in front. The Moon orbits the Earth about once a month, but the orbit is not perfectly aligned, so a solar eclipse is rare. It only affects a narrow path along those areas of the daytime Earth directly under the Moon's path, and only for a few hours. The "totality" of the eclipse in any location is always less than 3 minutes, because of the Moon's orbital speed and the Earth turning beneath it.

What is the difference between natural and inverted sentences?

Natural sentences are when the subject comes before the verb. For example: The baby kangaroo hides in its mother's pouch. The subject is kangaroo and the verb is hides. Kangaroo comes before hides so the sentence is natural. An inverted sentence is when the verb comes before the subject. An example is In its mother's pouch hides the baby kangaroo. The subject is kangaroo and the verb is hides. The verb comes before the subject. So this sentence is an inverted sentence.
