An annular eclipse occurs once every one or two years. Annular eclipses happen when the sun and moon are exactly in line with Earth, but the visible size of the moon is smaller than that of the sun. When this happens, the sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the dark circle of the moon.
