Actully, the moon is seen smaller than the sun by a bit, so there can not be a 100% block. However, when the moon gets directly in front of the sun, it will look as there is a bright ring in the sky.
If you want some pictures, search up "Total Solar Eclipse" on Google images.

∙ 12y agoAn unforgettable experience, if you are in the path of totality. When the sun is about half covered, you will notice some changes in color of everyday things around you, and the light will, to use the homely term, "look funny". It becomes progressively darker as totality approaches. Just before totaity, when it is very dusky, birds may stop singing, being fooled into believing it is nightfall. At totality, the sky is dark and stars can be seen, the only light being the sun's corona, invisible most of the time. The temperature usually drops several degrees.

∙ 11y agoSolar eclipse is said to be happened when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth, when three of them are exactly along a straight line. When the eclipse occurs the sun slowly gets covers by moon like a crescent and finally intensity of light reaching the eclipse hit area gets diminished. At a point of time when moon comes exactly in the centre we will be able to see only the outer part of the sun, corona, it looks like an illuminating radium bangle held an a dark room. Then the complete solar eclipse is said to happen. This lasts for few seconds. After that moon slowly uncovers the sun, now you can see the sun like crescent moon reaching towards full moon (just an comparison, not to be confused with the moon cycle). When moon completely uncovers the sun you will see the sun fully normal as of on a normal day. During the whole of process you will not be able to see the moon.
However, the effect of eclipse on the look of the sun is not seen from full of the earth. Its only be seen from particular regions.

Why can you look at a lunar eclipse and not a solar?

What is partial solar eclipse and total solar eclipse?
Solar eclipse is when the Moon gets between the Sun and the Earth - the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth. If you stand in the center of the shadow it will look like the complete Sun is blocked out and things will get very dark - a total eclipse. If you stand on the edge or near to the edge of the shadow, only part of the Sun is blocked out and things just get a bit dull - a partial eclipse. Solar eclipses happen regularly every year and will be seen somewhere on Earth, maybe way out to sea.

Well, first you have to jack the car up. Then, it is necessary to use the banana peel I mentioned as a lampshade. Once Eddie Murphy has arrived at your house, kill your family. Then ask the chicken why Tebow refused to eat at Applebee's on the night of Ramadan that fell on June 37th, -513 G.Q. Then, you must travel to the dungeon of mesmerized pubic hair. After you have spoken to Emperor Glassbeard, look out! Lastly, crawl back to your house, fight off the horde of inconsistent ball sacks, attend a grammar class, sit on your front porch between the hours of 6 and 11pm, and look up.
