How does a solar eclipse take place? Scientists believe that when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, darkness prevails for a short while. However, if the moon comes precisely between the Earth and the sun, and completely covers the sun, it results in a total solar eclipse.

Due to this phenomenon, the sun’s rays cannot reach the Earth’s surface and cause complete darkness in some areas, known as a total solar eclipse. Will the Solar eclipse take place in Pakistan and India?

There is no possibility of the solar eclipse being visible in Pakistan and India. The scientists say that the solar eclipse on April 8th will be the longest of the year. The last total solar eclipse was seen 50 years ago, and now people have the opportunity to witness it again this year.
