Partial - A partial eclipse happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, but does not cover it completely
Total - A total eclipse occurs when the Moon covers the Sun completely. Only a small region of the Earth will see a total eclipse, but observers in the nearby regions see a partial eclipse.
Annular - If the Moon is further away from the Earth than normal, then it will not appear large enough in the sky to cover the Sun. The Sun appears as a ring with a dark centre.
Hybrid - A hybrid eclipse is one which appears as a total eclipse in some parts of the world, and as an annular eclipse in others.
