Eclipse of the Sun
Eclipse of the Sun occurs when the Moon blocks the Earth from the sunlight either totally or partially. The size of the Moon is smaller than the Sun. Hence, the shadow of the Moon formed is small and not large enough to fully cover the Earth. This is the reason why the eclipse of the Sun can only be seen from a small area on the surface of the Earth.
