A ring of fire solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun, but the moon is not large enough to completely cover the sun.
This creates a ring of fire effect around the moon.
The ring of fire solar eclipse will be visible on Saturday, October 14, 2023, in parts of North America, South America, Africa, and Europe.
The eclipse will begin at 9:13 AM PDT and end at 12:13 PM PDT.
It is never safe to look directly at the sun, even during a solar eclipse. To safely view the ring of fire solar eclipse, you must use special solar viewing glasses or a solar filter.
The ring of fire solar eclipse will last for about four minutes. During the eclipse, the sky will darken and the temperature will drop.
* Ring of fire solar eclipses occur every few years.* The last ring of fire solar eclipse occurred in 2020.* The next ring of fire solar eclipse will occur in 2026.
