Key Points
The upcoming year will witness two Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse..
While a Solar Eclipse or a Surya Grahan occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting the Moon's shadow on Earth, a Lunar Eclipse or Chandra Grahan occurs when the Sun casts Earth's shadow onto the Moon..
During the Lunar Eclipse, the Earth must be physically between the Sun and Moon, with all three bodies lying on the same orbit plane..
The Annular Eclipse will be visible in South America (Argentina and Chile), and a Partial Solar Eclipse will be visible in South America, Antarctica, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and North America..
During a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the Moon passes through an outer region of the Earth's shadow called the Penumbra - the outer part of the Earth's shadow, in which the Earth appears to cover part of the Sun's disk, but not all of it..
