When the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the face of the Sun partially or completely, a solar eclipse takes place.
Year 2024's first solar eclipse will be on April 8. Also known as surya grahan, this will be a Total Solar Eclipse.
When the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun, a Total Solar Eclipse occurs.
The path where the Moon's shadow completely covers the Sun is known as the Path of Totality, says NASA. Those staying in locations along this Path Of Totality can view Total Solar Eclipse.
This surya grahan of April 8 will not be visible in India. The Total Solar Eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada, says NASA.
While April 8 Surya Grahan won't be visible from India, look out for NASA and other relevant websites to livestream.
