When the moon is closest to Earth, its disc can completely cover the sun, causing a total solar eclipse in the middle and partial eclipses around the edges. If the moon is slightly further away, it will be in the center of the sun but not cover it completely, resulting in a ring-shaped solar eclipse. When the moon only partially covers the sun, it is called a partial solar eclipse.
