On April 8, 2024, the North American continent will have a great opportunity to see a total solar eclipse.
What is the solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon enters between the earth and the sun, and the moon hides the sun.
When the sun is partially hidden, it is called a "partial solar eclipse," when the sun remains in a ring around it, it is called an "annular solar eclipse," and when the moon completely covers the sun, it is called a "total solar eclipse."
A total solar eclipse may allow us to see the corona of the sun, which we cannot normally see...!
The total solar eclipse visible in April begins in the central Pacific Ocean, passes through Mexico (from Sinaloa to Coahuila), the United States (from Texas to Maine), Canada (from Ontario to Newfoundland), and finally reaches sunset in the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, partial solar eclipses can be observed in almost all of North America and parts of Western Europe.
