An eclipse takes place when one heavenly body such as a moon or planet moves into the shadow of another heavenly body. A solar eclipse happens the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth blocking the light of the Sun from reaching Earth. This leads to a solar eclipse as the Moon casts a shadow onto Earth.
Eclipses happen when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun and casts a shadow on part of the planet either fully or partially blocking the light from the sun. Solar eclipses are never visible across the entire planet because the moon is much smaller than the Earth and its shadow is only a few hundred miles wide.
Where is the solar eclipse visible?
A solar eclipse is a phenomenon in which the moon passes between the sun and the earth, casting a dark shadow on the earth that can completely or partially block sunlight in some areas. The obscuration of the Sun by the Moon will be approximately between 40 and 50 percent at the time of maximum eclipse in north-western parts of the country. In other parts of the country, the percentage coverage will be less than the above values.
A solar eclipse happens when the moon moves in front of the Sun as seen from a location on Earth. During a solar eclipse, it gets dimer and dimmer outside as more and more of the Sun is covered by the Moon. During a total eclipse, the entire Sun is covered for a few minutes, and it becomes very dark outside. The temperature outside also drops.
