Total Solar Eclipse 2024: Top 5 Apps for Watching Celestial Event in Pakistan.
We reported to you earlier that the total Solar Eclipse 2024 is to take place on Monday 8th April.
The solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun. A solar eclipse takes place when the moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thus completely or partially hindering the light of the Sun for the Earth. This will be an “Total Solar Eclipse“ that will show a ring of fire during the eclipse. People will see the disc of the moon move gradually in front of the sun until it covers it totally, leaving only a burning ring of light around the border.
The “Solar Eclipse 2024” will not be visible in Pakistan, India, Africa, Central African Republic, Congo, Ethiopia and China. However, it will be visible from parts of North America, including Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
People who descend upon this “path of totality” for the big event are in for an unforgettable experience.
