During a"Ring of Fire" annular eclipse, the moon is at its orbit farthest from Earth. Because it’s farther than it is during a total solar eclipse, it doesn’t cover the entire sun, leaving what appears to be a ring of the sun visible for those who are in the path. That's where the"Ring of Fire" eclipse got its name.A total solar eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024, and will also travel over several states, including Texas.
