Solar eclipses are caused by the formation of the moon's shadows from the Sun's light.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth's surface. This alignment happens during a new moon phase when the three celestial bodies are in a straight line.

Solar Winds
The color black absorbs solar energy, which causes it to heat up. This absorption of solar energy can be harnessed for various applications, such as solar heating systems or solar panels to generate electricity.
Solar wind causes auroras because atoms go through water droplets in clouds. They act as prisms (the raindrops) and this causes the billowing, beautiful Aurora Borealis.
Gravity is the force that causes planets to orbit the Sun in our solar system. The gravitational pull of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits as they travel around the central star.
