Because in a full eclipse the moon is close enough to the earth to block all the sun's disk and the light of this disk does not visually hide the corona. In an annular eclipse the moon is farther from the earth and not all of the sun's disk is blocked so there is enough light escaping around the block to hide the corona. .

If the moon was further away would you get a corona on a solar eclipse?

Not with the naked eye, although we have special instruments - the coronagraph - that allow us to see the solar corona at any time. You can only see the solar corona with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse, and the Moon is already too far away to do that at apogee. If the Moon were further away than it is now, you would NEVER see a total solar eclipse.


Which layers of the sun are only seen during a solar eclipse?

Usually, we cannot see the corona because of the brightness of the photosphere. However, during a total solar eclipse, the corona shines beautifully against the dark sky. During a partial or an annular eclipse, a ring of the photosphere is visible around the Moon and the corona is not visible.

The corona of the Sun can only be seen with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse. However, with a special telescope called a coronagraph, you can view the solar corona at any time.During a solar eclipse, you can see the corona as a bright ring. But compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is invisibly dim. That's why you can only see it when the Sun itself is hidden behind the Moon.

The light you see around the sun during a total eclipse?

The light seen around the sun during a total solar eclipse is the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The corona appears as a shimmering ring of light due to the sun's intense heat and magnetic fields. This phenomenon is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely covers the sun, revealing the sun's outer atmosphere.
