This can cause the Sun to appear partially or totally obscured, depending on the alignment of the three celestial bodies. Types of Solar Eclipses There are four main types of solar eclipses: Total solar eclipse:  This occurs when the Moon completely blocks the Sun's disk. This is the most dramatic type of solar eclipse, and it can only be seen from a narrow path on Earth. Partial solar eclipse:  This occurs when the Moon only partially blocks the Sun's disk. A partial solar eclipse can be seen from a much wider area than a total solar eclipse.
