The last solar eclipse will take place on Diwali, October 25. It will be a partial eclipse of the sun and in India, it will start in the afternoon. The eclipse will also be visible in various parts of Europe, North-east Africa and West Asia. For those who are unaware, the phenomenon of the partial solar eclipse is relatable to a solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon passes through the sun and three of them align parallel to each other.
An annular solar eclipse or partial eclipse is when the sun appears to have a dark shadow on only a small part of its surface. The complete ending of the eclipse won’t be visible as it will be followed by sunset.
The obscuration of the sun by the moon will be approximately between 40 and 50 per cent at the time of the maximum eclipse in the north-western parts of the country. The rest of the country will be less than the above values.
