Solar Eclipse April 2023: This year will witness four eclipses, among which two will be solar eclipses. The solar eclipse, also known as Surya Grahan, is one of the most significant celestial events. An eclipse is a phenomenon in which the Sun is blocked by the Moon, i.e. a solar eclipse, and the Earth's shadow obscures the Moon in a lunar eclipse. The first solar eclipse of 2023 will occur on April 20.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon eclipses the Sun. This means that the Moon, as it orbits the Earth, comes in between the Sun and the Earth, thereby blocking the Sun and preventing any sunlight from reaching us. There are four types of solar eclipses– partial solar eclipse, annular solar eclipse, total solar eclipse, and hybrid solar eclipse.
