During the Ring of Fire Solar eclipse, the Moon is furthermost from the Earth and closer to the Sun. Hence the Moon fits perfectly in the centre of the Sun, leaving a circular ring of fire around its periphery.

Solar Eclipse: The solar eclipse will be observed in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh in India. For those in the rest of the country, the event will be a webcast live online.
The Solar Eclipse of this year will take place on June 10. However, it will not be visible from all regions of India, with the exception of Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh.
The cosmic phenomena happens when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are all in the same line and the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, partially obstructing the Sun s view but not fully due to the Moon s elliptical orbit around the Sun. The Sun appears to be surrounded by a ring of fire due to the moon s coverage.
