The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced the date and time of the first solar eclipse in 2022.According to NASA, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth, or partially blocking the Sun's light in some areas. While a partial solar eclipse occurs the Moon and the Sun are not perfectly aligned in a straight line. Therefore, the Moon does not completely cover the Sun. This gives the Sun a crescent shape. It appears as though the Moon has taken a bite of the Sun.
