What kind of eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its farthest point in its orbit around Earth?
An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its farthest point in its orbit around Earth (called apogee), and the apparent diameter of the Moon is smaller than the apparent diameter of the Sun. As a result, the Moon cannot completely cover the Sun, and a ring of sunlight is visible around the Moon.
