An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun's center, leaving the Sun's visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around the Moon.

In an annular eclipse of the Sun, the Moon casts its antumbra - the outer part of the Moon's umbra - on the Earth.
Like total solar eclipses, annular solar eclipses can be seen as partial eclipses from locations inside its penumbra, but outside it's antumbra.
