A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking some or all of the sun’s light from reaching Earth. This can only happen during a new moon when the sun and moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth.
The solar eclipse occurring on April 8, 2024, is special because it will be a total solar eclipse visible from North America, specifically crossing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. It’s often referred to as the “Great North American Eclipse” due to its path over these countries.
