A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the Earth, obscuring the sun's light for a brief period. The Solar Eclipse of 2024 is anticipated to be a total solar eclipse, where the sun is entirely covered by the moon, leading to a surreal darkness as daytime turns into night. Such events are rare, and their appearance is a breathtaking occurrence for those fortunate enough to be within the narrow path of totality.
