A solar eclipse usually occurs when a part of the earth is overshadowed by the moon, which completely or partially blocks sunlight. This happens when the sun, moon and earth are aligned. Such an arrangement coincides with the new moon indicating that the lunar eclipse is closest to the plane.
Eclipse is a natural phenomenon. However, in some ancient and modern cultures, solar eclipses are attributed to supernatural causes or are considered bad omens. A total solar eclipse can be terrifying for those who are unaware of its astronomical description, as the sun disappears during the day and the sky turns black in a few minutes.
