"RING OF FIRE" _ The Annual Solar Eclipse

The "Ring of Fire" is not an annual solar eclipse, but rather a specific type of solar eclipse called an "annular solar eclipse." Let me explain it in easy words:

A solar eclipse happens when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, blocking out the sun's light. During a total solar eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun, making it look like a dark circle in the sky. But during an annular solar eclipse, the moon doesn't completely cover the sun.

In an annular solar eclipse, the moon is a bit farther from Earth, so it appears smaller in the sky. When it moves in front of the sun, it doesn't cover the sun completely. Instead, there is a ring of sunlight that surrounds the dark disk of the moon. This ring of sunlight is what people call the "Ring of Fire."

So, during an annular solar eclipse, you see a "Ring of Fire" in the sky because the moon doesn't block the sun entirely, leaving a bright circle around the dark moon. It's a spectacular and unique astronomical event to witness.
