Question
What types of solar eclipses will occur in the perigee condition?
Short Answer
Solution
Total and partial solar eclipses will occur in perigee conditions.
- Total solar eclipse: The central portion of the shadow is darker and the periphery is light. In the area of dark shadow on the earth, the sun becomes completely invisible. This condition is known as a total solar eclipse.
- Partial solar eclipse: However, during the same period, at the places where the shadow is lighter, the sun disc appears partially covered. This condition is described as a partial solar eclipse.
