MEXICO: The first solar eclipse of 2024 is scheduled for April 8th of next month.

Starting from Mexico, the solar eclipse will cross the following states before arriving in Canada: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Since the solar eclipse will bring total darkness to the majority of American states, hundreds of schools have announced early closures.

In addition, a total solar eclipse that will continue for 4 hours and 39 minutes will be visible in certain areas of Tennessee and Michigan.

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN

It is not possible for Pakistan or India to see the solar eclipse.

According to astronomers, the longest solar eclipse of the year will occur on April 8. People now have the chance to experience a total solar eclipse this year, which was last observed fifty years ago.

HOW DOES SOLAR ECLIPSE OCCUR?

According to scientists, there is a brief period of darkness when the moon passes in front of the sun.

A solar eclipse, on the other hand, occurs when the moon perfectly passes between the Earth and the sun.

This occurrence prevents the sun’s rays from reaching the Earth’s surface, which results in total solar eclipses, which are periods of utter darkness in some places.
