On Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021, some people in the Southern Hemisphere will have the chance to experience a total or partial eclipse of the Sun. ► Become a YouTube member 🔔 Rocket Launch Alerts & Live Chat (Discord): A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth and blocking the Sun’s light in some locations. The Sun, Moon, and Earth must be in a direct line for a total solar eclipse to occur. A total eclipse will be visible to people who are in the centre of the Moon’s shadow when it hits Earth. The sky darkens dramatically, as if it were dawn or night. People in the path of a total solar eclipse can see the Sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, which is normally covered by the Sun’s brilliant face. The total solar eclipse will be visible from Antarctica, while south parts of Africa, Australia and South America will be able to see a partial solar eclipse.
