What is a solar eclipse, and what's special about the one that's occurring today?
了解日蚀成因，以及今天这场日蚀的特别之处。by Ryan Batdorf.
Ready or not, a total
solar eclipse will occur today where people in Asia can see it.
What causes a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. This always happens during a new moon, but the angle of the moon’s
orbit keeps an eclipse from occurring every month. About twice a year, the earth and moon’s orbits
line up so that the moon’s shadow falls somewhere on the earth’s surface. That is when a solar eclipse occurs.
What is special about this eclipse?
The route of the moon's umbral shadow will start in India and cut through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and mainland China. It will then cross Japan's Ryukyu Islands and curve southeast through the Pacific Ocean. It is there that the longest time of total darkness will occur-6 minutes and 39 seconds. Those places not in the direct path will see a partial eclipse from the moon's penumbral shadow.
