Annular Eclipse Phases

Watch or Listen and Learn:

During an annular solar eclipse the moon will pass in front of the sun and block its center during the maximum phase making the sun appear to be a glowing ring of fire! This video will explain the stages of an annular eclipse that lead up to the maximum phase and follow it.

The video uses descriptive text, imagery, and closed captions. So you can listen, watch or read about the stages – or use all three together, whatever helps you learn best!

Discussion / Notes:

How would you describe annularity, also known as the maximum phase of an annular eclipse?
