A partial solar eclipse is pictured during sunset in Vina del Mar, Chile April 30, 2022.
On Saturday, the moon is going to take a bite out of the sun. Just how much depends on where you are in the country.A partial solar eclipse is pictured during sunset in Vina del Mar, Chile, on April 30, 2022.
However, the sun also happens to be 400 times farther away. But we don't get a total eclipse every month because the orbits of both the sun and the moon aren't perfect circles, but rather elliptical.Annular eclipses occur when the moon happens to be closer to Earth in its orbit and doesn't cover the sun entirely.
"The moon needs to be further from the Earth than usual and be in the correct alignment with the sun for the annular eclipse to arise. This combination occurs on average once every two to three years."How much of the partial eclipse you can see depends on where you are. But the farther west you are, the better. For example, southern B.C. will experience the greatest eclipse, with roughly 75 per cent of the sun blotted out in Victoria and Vancouver.
