A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned between the sun and our planet, covering a part of the star with its shadow, which looks like a “bite” in the sun.
Visible in different parts of the world, including North America, Europe, Africa, North Asia and some areas of South America, the partial eclipse of the sun will hardly be seen from Brazil. A small area of our country is within the visibility map: part of the northern territory of Amapá. However, even there, the percentage of sunlight that will be blocked by the shadow of the moon will be very small.
The north of the state is in an area where only 0.14% of the sun’s rays will be obscured by our satellite – such a small “bite” that it can be difficult to notice the phenomenon happening in the sky.
