Total Solar Eclipse Ramadan: Spectacle of Sun, Moon and Earth

Total Solar Eclipse:

• A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, completely obscuring the Sun’s disk and casting a large shadow on the Earth’s surface.
• Those located within the path of totality, where the Moon’s shadow fully covers the Sun, witness a total solar eclipse.
• The sky darkens like dawn or dusk, revealing the Sun’s corona, normally hidden by brightness.
• The corona, extending millions of kilometers into space as the Sun’s outermost layer, becomes visible during a solar eclipse.
• A faint, pearly-white halo encircles the darkened Sun, unique to this event.
• Viewers may see the chromosphere as a pink ring around the Moon during totality.
• Totality provides a fleeting glimpse of stars in the darkened sky, offering a rare celestial spectacle.
• Moreover, a noticeable drop in air temperatures accompanies the eclipse, adding to the atmospheric phenomena observed during this extraordinary event.
