Solar Eclipse 2022: Will it be visible in India? Know timings, other details of Surya Grahan

The first partial solar eclipse of the year will occur on the final day of April. The solar eclipse, which will occur on April 30, is expected to last more than four hours. When the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, an astronomical event occurs. Because the forthcoming solar eclipse will be partial, the Moon will conceal the Sun as seen from Earth. According to NASA, the Moon will cover about 66% of the Sun during the eclipse.

This eclipse will occur in the signs of Aries and Bharani Nakshatra. Because the solar eclipse would be invisible in India, its 'Sutak' time will be ignored.

Eclipses have always had a varied influence on different zodiac signs, according to Acharya Shaktidhar Tripathi. The influence of the year's first eclipse benefits the four zodiac signs of Taurus, Cancer, Libra, and Sagittarius.
