In an Annular eclipse the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the dark disk of the Moon.
لكن يكون حجم القمر أصغر من حجم الشمس، هنا تبدو الشمس كخاتم ضوئي لامع أو كطوق ناري يحيط بقرص القمر المظلم.
