New Delhi: In the year 2024, the first solar eclipse (Solar Eclipse 2024) will take place on April 8. The total solar eclipse will be visible in some areas of America, Mexico and Canada. The US space agency NASA has said that it will first appear on the Pacific coast of Mexico at 11:07 am. If the moon completely covers the sun, then it will be like night in the day. This total solar eclipse will be visible in 13 states of America. The partial solar eclipse will be visible across North America.
When the Moon completely covers the Sun, it is called totality. Its maximum time will be 4 minutes 28 seconds. After this, some part of the sun will gradually be visible. This solar eclipse will last quite long, but will it be the longest solar eclipse? Scientists say that the solar eclipse is nowhere near the record. Now the question is, what was the longest solar eclipse? According to NASA calculations, the longest solar eclipse will occur on June 15, 743 BC.
