Solar eclipse 2016: total solar eclipse will sweep across Indonesia and Southeast Asia

The video explains that solar eclipses occur during a new moon when the moon's dark side faces Earth. Although new moons happen 13 times a year, solar eclipses are rare due to the moon's tilted orbit. A total solar eclipse will be visible in Indonesia and Southeast Asia on March 9th, with partial visibility in surrounding areas.
