"annular eclipse"的定义和意义

Annular eclipse

名词

环形日食, 环食

a type of solar eclipse where the moon, passing between the earth and the sun, appears smaller than the sun, creating a ring of sunlight around the darkened moon

Example

During an annular eclipse, observers in the path of the eclipse see a ring of sunlight encircling the Moon, creating a spectacular " ring of fire " effect.

在环形日食期间，处于食影路径中的观察者会看到一圈阳光围绕着月球，产生壮观的“火环”效果。

An annular eclipse differs from a total solar eclipse because the Moon's apparent size does not completely cover the Sun, leaving a visible ring of sunlight.

环形日食与全日食的不同之处在于，月球的视觉大小并不能完全遮住太阳，从而留下可见的阳光环。
