| An image of the 2019 Ring of Fire eclipse |
The second and last solar eclipse of this year will occur on October 14.
This eclipse is called the Ring of Fire because during it the Moon will hide the Sun so that its outer part looks like a ring or shell.
But this solar eclipse will not be seen in Pakistan but can be seen only in North and South America.
The eclipse will begin on October 14 at 8:35 PM Pakistan time and end on October 15 at 2:25 PM.
Why is it called Ring of Fire?
A ring of fire or annular eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth when it is farthest from our planet.
Since the Moon is far from Earth, it cannot completely block the Sun, and the view is called the Ring of Fire.
Although it will not be possible to view the eclipse in Pakistan, it will be available on NASA's live stream.
Earlier in April 2023, a hybrid solar eclipse was observed in many countries around the world.
This hybrid eclipse was observed in parts of Australia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and Antarctica.
An eclipse occurs when the Moon is so far from the Earth that it completely hides the Sun, but as it moves, it moves away from the Earth and cannot hide the entire Sun.
That is, in some parts of the earth a total solar eclipse is visible and in others it is partially visible.
