A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, partially blocking out the sun's light. By contrast, in a total solar eclipse the moon completely blocks the sun's light.

How to watch the partial solar eclipse?

View the Sun through eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer during the partial eclipse phases before and after totality. You can view the eclipse directly without proper eye protection only when the Moon completely obscures the Sun's bright face – during the brief and spectacular period known as totality.

When is there a solar eclipse in 2025?

On March 29, 2025, only some of the Sun will be covered by the Moon. It will be a partial solar eclipse. It will look like the Moon is taking an ever-increasing bite out of the Sun, but the Moon won't cover the Sun completely. What's more, not everyone in the USA and Canada will get to see it.

Can you look at a partial solar eclipse?

Even during a partial eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun with the naked eye as it can cause eye damage, including blindness.
