Annular eclipse

Japanese: 金環食 - きんかんしょく(英語表記)annular eclipse
Annular eclipse
During a solar eclipse, the apparent diameter of the moon is smaller than that of the sun, so it cannot completely hide the light ball, and the edge of the moon appears as a thin golden ring. This can be seen when the distance from the earth to the moon is relatively far, or when the distance from the sun is relatively close, so that the umbra does not reach the earth's surface.
