Solar Eclipse 2026
Not all solar eclipses are the same. How much of the Moon covers the Sun determines whether you will see a partial, annular, or total eclipse. Generally, there are three types of solar eclipses: 1) Partial Eclipse, 2) Annular Eclipse, and 3) Total Eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, causing the Sun to be partially or completely hidden and the Earth to cast its shadow on the Earth.
Solar eclipse can only happen during the day, not at night, if the solar eclipse happens at night, it means that it will not be visible in your country and its sutak will not be felt. An eclipse that occurs at night is called a lunar eclipse. So let's know when the solar eclipse will happen in the year 2026.
