Sometimes when the Moon orbits Earth, it moves between the Sun and Earth. When this happens, the Moon blocks [some or all of] the light of the Sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the Sun, or solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow onto Earth.  3, record 1, English, - solar%20eclipse

eclipse solar; eclipse de Sol: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que según la Ortografía de la lengua española, las voces "sol", "luna" y "tierra" se escriben con mayúscula inicial en contextos astronómicos, cuando se utilizan como los nombres propios de la estrella, el satélite y el planeta, respectivamente. Así pues, a la hora de emplear estas palabras en construcciones como "eclipse de Sol" o "eclipse de Luna", que se refieren a un fenómeno astronómico, lo recomendable es escribir con mayúscula "Sol" y "Luna". Sin embargo, lo indicado es la minúscula cuando se usan los adjetivos que indican el tipo: "eclipse solar", "eclipse lunar", "eclipse total" [...]  1, record 1, Spanish, - eclipse%20solar

Because Earth's surface is curved, sometimes an eclipse can shift between annular and total as the Moon's shadow moves across the globe. This is called a hybrid solar eclipse.  7, record 2, English, - hybrid%20solar%20eclipse

Il peut arriver que l'éclipse soit totale dans certaines régions et annulaire dans d'autres : on parle alors d'éclipse annulaire-totale, ou mixte.  6, record 2, French, - %C3%A9clipse%20solaire%20hybride

The umbra or antumbra falls entirely upon Earth so the ground track has both a northern and southern limit. Central solar eclipses can be either total, annular or hybrid.  1, record 3, English, - central%20solar%20eclipse

[...] lorsque l'axe des cônes d'ombre et de pénombre rencontre la surface terrestre, il y a éclipse et l'on dit que l'éclipse est centrale. [...] une éclipse centrale peut être totale, annulaire ou mixte (annulaire-totale).  4, record 3, French, - %C3%A9clipse%20solaire%20centrale

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, causing the Moon to cast a shadow on a portion of the Earth's surface. ... during a total solar eclipse, the Moon aligns perfectly with the Sun and covers the entire solar disk, resulting in a momentary darkening of the sky. As a result, the corona becomes visible as a halo of glowing plasma encircling the Moon.  3, record 4, English, - total%20solar%20eclipse

Au moment d'une éclipse de Soleil, si la Lune est plus proche de la Terre (Lune plus grosse) ou que le Soleil est plus éloigné (Soleil plus petit), le cône d'ombre lunaire atteint la surface de la Terre. Si on se trouve à un endroit balayé par cette ombre, la Lune dissimule complètement la brillante surface de notre étoile. On assiste alors à une éclipse totale de Soleil.  1, record 4, French, - %C3%A9clipse%20solaire%20totale

A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not perfectly lined up. Only a part of the Sun will appear to be covered, giving it a crescent shape.  1, record 5, English, - partial%20solar%20eclipse

Souvent, l'alignement entre les trois astres n'est pas parfait et l'ombre de la Lune évite la Terre. Dans ce cas, la phase partielle est la seule à se produire et il n'y a aucune totalité. On parle alors d'une éclipse solaire partielle.  3, record 5, French, - %C3%A9clipse%20solaire%20partielle
