A solar eclipse happens at New Moon (Not at every New Moon).
Nashville is the city with the best view where the eclipse lasts about 2 min. During a total solar eclipse, the disk of the sun is completely covered by the disk of the moon. A solar eclipse happens at New Moon (Not at every New Moon). If any planets are in the sky at the time of a total solar eclipse, they can be seen as points of light.

Diamond effect: Safety: How it happens:
It is very important you protect your eyes. If you look at the eclipses with your bare eyes it can cause permanent damage. A diamond ring effect is where it looks like you see a diamond ring because of the light from the sun piercing the edges of the moon. Alyssa How it happens: The sun, moon, and earth line up with the moon in the middle causing the moon to block out the sun for a short period of time.

20 Things You Need to Know

The upcoming August 21, 2017, total solar eclipse will be the first one in 99 years to stretch from one U.S. coast to the other. It has been over 500 years and will be 500 more years before it will in our location. We know that the moon's shadow completely blocks the sun during a total solar eclipse. However, the sun's outer atmosphere known as the corona, can still be seen. This looks like a faint light around the shadow of the moon. Taniya

A solar eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth, and when the moon fully or partially blocks the sun. Athena
