Ottawa: Solar eclipse occurs in rare astronomical events in the world. Soon people living on earth will witness the solar eclipse. Solar eclipse will appear on 29 March Saturday.

Solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the Sun and the Earth. When the moon completely covers the sun, it is called full solar eclipse. But when it cannot be completely covered, then it is called partial. The solar eclipse on 29 March 2025 will be a deep partial solar eclipse.

Do not make mistakes to see naked eyes
Solar eclipse should never be seen with naked eyes. There are many special glasses to see solar eclipse. When a complete solar eclipse occurs, a time comes for a few minutes when the moon covers the sun completely. During this time, there is darkness, there is a drop in temperature. We also see the corona of the sun. During this time you can see the solar eclipse directly. The solar eclipse on April 29 is partial, so do not forget it with naked eyes.
