Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
During a solar eclipse the sequence begins with Baily's Beads, tiny bright spots that appear as the Moon’s mountains let sunlight through. Soon after, the Diamond Ring effect shows a single bright flash beside a dark rim. Then the sky darkens completely as Totality occurs, with the Sun’s disk fully hidden. Finally, sunlight returns and the eclipse ends. For example, in the 2017 eclipse, observers first saw beads, then a ring, then total darkness, and finally the Sun reappeared.
Detailed Explanation
Baily's Beads show up first because the Moon’s uneven edge lets tiny spots of the Sun shine through. Other options are incorrect because This option puts the Diamond Ring before the beads; It says Totality happens before the beads.
