Fog covers partial solar eclipse in Delhi
Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, totally or partly obscuring the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse takes place when the moon`s apparent diameter is smaller than that of the Sun`s, blocking most of the Sun`s light. This causes the Sun to look like a `ring of fire`.
People from Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu would be able to see the annular solar eclipse, while the rest of the country would only be able to see a partial solar eclipse, Photo: Reuters
