Arab Weather - Planet Earth will witness an annular solar eclipse on Wednesday, October 2, 2024 , which is the second event of its kind during the year after the total eclipse that occurred on April 8.

 

Visibility in the Southern Hemisphere

The annular eclipse will be visible primarily in the Southern Hemisphere, as it will pass through the South Pole and the eclipse will begin in the North Pacific Ocean and end in the South Atlantic Ocean. This eclipse will not be visible in the Middle East and Europe.

An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a straight line, but the Moon is at a point closer to Earth called perigee, making it appear smaller than the Sun. When the Moon blocks the Sun's light in this case, part of the Sun remains visible around the Moon as a bright ring, and this appearance is known as an annular eclipse.
