As per astrology, a Solar eclipse is a major event that influences individuals to a great extent. It leaves both positive and negative impacts on the lives of the natives based upon their Zodiac Signs. Surya Grahan has all astronomical, astrological as well as scientific significance. 

The Solar Eclipse 2023 is believed to bring enormous changes in everyone's life in all aspects - be it personal, professional, or health. It can cause temporary, long-lasting influence. 

Types of Solar Eclipses

Solar eclipses are generally of four types. They are - 

Total Solar Eclipse 

When the Moon casts its umbral shadow over Earth for a few hours, enclosing almost one-third of the surface of the planet, it causes a total solar eclipse. The outer layer of the Sun, the Corona, is exposed during this time. Such eclipses are brief and last for a maximum of 8 minutes.

Partial Solar Eclipse

When the Moon's shadow is limited to only the penumbral region, Partial Solar Eclipse occurs. The major part of the Sun is generally visible during this event. However, it may vary as per the situation as well as the location of the Moon.

Annular Solar Eclipse

Though the Annular Solar eclipse occurs once in a blue moon, it is considered the most majestic. It is a component of a fragmented eclipse, completely different from the total solar eclipse. The Annular Solar eclipse is just like the Ring of Fire. It happens when the Moon passes straight via the core of the Sun.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse

This solar eclipse also belongs to the rare category. This second-most rare eclipse can be witnessed when the Moon is hitting the surface of the Earth and on the verge of entering the umbral shadow. Despite not striking the Earth, it still passes in front of the Sun. It first appears as a total solar eclipse and later returns to being annular.
