Appearance
Several parts of the country, including Odisha, Kerala, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Delhi, are witnessing a solar eclipse, which is said to the last one of the decade. The annular solar eclipse began at around 8 am on Thursday morning. The December 26 solar eclipse is what is known as an 'annular solar eclipse'.
During the solar eclipse, the Moon won't be able to completely cover the Sun and so, the Sun will appear as a 'Ring of Fire' -- a disc with its edges illuminated. The 'surya grahan’ will initially be visible most prominently from South India cities in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka are among places where the solar eclipse will be visible fully.
