Would someone, who is much more knowledgeable than myself, please explain how we have annular solar eclipses. In other words, why is the size of the moon smaller so it doesn't completely shut out the sun, whereas sometimes the moon is large enough to totally eclipse it. I can't stay up one more night worrying about this. Thanks. -A
