Annular Solar Eclipse: - 

Solar eclipses occur when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned in a straight line, so that the Moon passes between us and the Sun and blocks its light.

The Moon's shadow can be divided into the umbra, indicated as a dark gray cone, where the Moon appears to completely cover the Sun, and the larger penumbra, where the Moon only partially covers the Sun.

The umbra gets narrower at greater distances from the Moon, since the Moon covers less of the sky when seen from greater distances, and so needs to be more precisely aligned in order to cover the entire Sun. At a distance of 373,000 km, the Moon appears with exactly the same angular size as the Sun, and so the umbra narrows to a single point where the two objects are perfectly aligned in the sky.

In the diagram to the right, the grid represents the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As it circles the Earth, the Moon passes through this Earth–Sun plane twice each month, at the points on the left and right labelled as nodes. A solar eclipse happens only when one of these node crossings happens to coincide with New Moon. This happens roughly once every six months.

The Moon's orbit is tipped up by 5° relative to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, in the plane of the grid shown above. A solar eclipse only occurs at New Moon if the Moon is close to the Earth–Sun plane at the time, at one of two points called the Moon's nodes.

The Moon's shadow projected onto the Earth as the eclipse proceeds. The hemisphere of the Earth facing the Sun is shown. Contours show where various fractions of the Sun's disk is covered.

 

The Moon will pass in front of the Sun, creating an annular solar eclipse visible from Canada and Greenland between 13:43 and 18:41 IST.

From India no eclipse will be visible (change location ).

The green cross in the centre of the Moon's shadow indicates the point of central eclipse, where the Moon appears exactly centered on the middle of the Sun's disk, and where an annular eclipse will be seen.

The animation to the right shows the path of the Moon's shadow across the Earth. The red circle shows the edge of the Moon's shadow: all places inside the red circle will see the Moon covering some part of the Sun's disk. Within this, contours show where various fractions of the Sun's disk is covered.
