The solar eclipse was not a total eclipse but an annular one. The sun and the moon were positioned in a way that formed a ‘ring of fire’ as the moon could not completely covered the sun. The edges of the sun were illuminated and were visible in the sky.

Netizens are seen appreciating the solar eclipse and some could not stop complaining about the clouds which covered the sun during the eclipse. Have a look
