Ring of fire 🔥

A "Ring of Fire" solar eclipse, also known as an annular solar eclipse, occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, but doesn't completely cover the Sun's disk. This creates a stunning visual effect where the outer edge of the Sun is still visible, forming a ring of light around the darkened center. These eclipses happen when the Moon is near its apogee (farthest point from Earth), making it appear smaller and not fully covering the Sun's disk. Ring of Fire eclipses are captivating astronomical events, but they are less common than total solar eclipses.
