October 2nd solar eclipses

An annular solar eclipse on October 2, 2024 So, the Moon will look smaller and more off-center as it crosses in front of the Sun, creating what is called an annular eclipse  meaning that stargazers lucky enough to be underneath its path across South America may observe a "ring of fire" around much if not all of our star. A partial solar eclipse, with the moon covering only part of the sun, will be visible over a much wider area on Earth, including all of North America and parts of the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, the eclipse will not be visible from India.

Solar Eclipse Overview

• A solar eclipse happens when the new moon passes directly between Earth and Sun, causing daylight to turn into twilight.
• Before we start discussing the title of this section, do you know that there are four types out of which most probable three can be seen from one perspective — Total solar eclipse A total Solar Eclipse happens when our Moon is amidst Earth and Sun.
• Total Solar Eclipse: The dark silhouette of a Moon completely covers the Sun, gives fast sunlight and glints the bright outer atmosphere.
• Annular Solar Eclipse- The Moon covers the Sun's central area alone, leaving its sides and makes a "ring of fire".
• Partial Solar Eclipse The Moon covers only a part of the solar disk leaving an arc appearing like a crescent.
• Â Hybrid Solar Eclipse – The most unique kind which looks like a total eclipse in some location and an annular on the other.
• New Moon Phase: Solar Eclipses happen two to five times a year during the New Moon phase.
