What is the Arab country that will start the annular eclipse of the sun on December 26, 2019?

Weather of Arabia - This year's third and final solar eclipse is on December 26, 2019 in the eastern part of the globe. This is this year's only annular eclipse - sometimes called the "ring of fire" .

 

The annular eclipse, like the total eclipse of the sun, occurs when the new moon moves directly in front of the sun, but in the case of the annular eclipse the entire sun disk is not covered, so olfactory rays appear as a ring surrounding the moon.

 

The dates of the eclipse that occurred during 2019

The first solar eclipse on January 6, 2019 was the partial solar eclipse, and the second on July 2, 2019, was a complete solar eclipse.

 

And because this last eclipse is annular - not total - there is no safe window to view this eclipse directly without good and appropriate eye protection. "More about the importance of protecting the eye. An annular eclipse is here."

 

Where and where does the annular eclipse begin?

The map of the annular eclipse of December 26 below indicates that the eclipse will start with sunrise in Saudi Arabia (on the left) and then end at sunset over the northern Pacific Ocean (on the right) - the narrow red stripe defines the path of the annular eclipse.
