The first solar eclipse of the year will take place on Sunday, June 21. Regarding this, the Ministry of Science and Technology says that this is a rare astronomical event. This will be the first solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) of the year. It is also known as Rings of Fire Eclipse. It will appear on Sunday. The first solar eclipse of the year takes place in the summer solstice, the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere.
The ministry said that people living in Anupgarh, Suratgarh, Sirsa, Jakhal, Kurukshetra, Yamunanagar, Dehradun, Tapovan and Joshimath would be able to see the annular eclipse. In the rest of India, people can see a partial eclipse.
Let us tell you that in this eclipse the Moon will cover about 99 percent of the Sun. In the annular solar eclipse, the sun will appear like a ring. In this, the outermost part of the Sun will be visible while the middle part will be hidden by the Moon. This solar eclipse will be visible in many countries of Asia including India, Nepal, Pakistan, Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Ethiopia.
There are three types of solar eclipse i.e full, annular and partial solar eclipse. When the moon completely covers the sun, darkness falls on the earth. In this case, the eclipse is called a complete solar eclipse. In a partial solar eclipse, the moon cannot cover the sun completely but in Annular Solar Eclipse, the Moon covers about 99 percent of the Sun and only some outer part of the Sun is visible. In this, the outer part of the sun appears like a bright bracelet. This is called the annular solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth and the shadow of the moon casts on the earth. During this time, the Sun, Moon and Earth all come together. Let us tell you that the solar eclipse that will occur on June 21 will be the annular solar eclipse.
