New Delhi: After two lunar eclipses, solar eclipse is going to happen on June 21. When a full eclipse occurs, the moon completely covers the sun for a while. However, in partial and annular eclipses, only part of the sun remains covered. The solar eclipse that is going to happen on June 21 is annular. The annular eclipse looks like a 'ring of fire', but it is different from a full eclipse. This time the solar eclipse will be seen in some areas of Africa including India, Central African Republic, Congo, Ethiopia, Pakistan and China.
