Solar Eclipse October 2023: Surya Grahan Date, Timings
A solar eclipse takes place when the moon passes between the sun and the earth and blocks out the sun's rays, therefore, casting a shadow on parts of Earth.
On October 14, 2023 (Saturday), there will be an annular Solar Eclipse, where the sun forms a ring of fire around the moon.
According to the space agency NASA, an annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but when it is at or near its farthest point from Earth. As the Moon is farther away from Earth, it appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely cover the Sun. "As a result, the Moon appears as a dark disk on top of a larger, bright disk, creating what looks like a ring around the Moon," NASA said.
