In 2024, skywatchers are in for a treat as the cosmos presents a breathtaking spectacle with two Solar Eclipses and a Lunar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse, or Surya Grahan, takes place when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow on Earth. On the other hand, a Lunar Eclipse, or Chandra Grahan, occurs when the Sun’s light is blocked by Earth, casting a shadow on the Moon.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Earth must be positioned between the Sun and Moon, aligning all three bodies on the same orbit plane. Both Lunar and Solar Eclipses hold significant astronomical and cultural importance.
Therefore, it is essential for sky watchers to be aware of the correct dates and timings of these celestial events in 2024.
In 2024, people will witness four eclipses, none of which will be visible in India. Here are the details:
- March 25, 2024: The first Lunar Eclipse will occur under the Virgo sun sign and Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Starting at 10:23 AM and ending at 03:02 PM, it will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, not visible in India.

What is Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun’s view from a small part of the Earth, either totally or partially. This alignment happens roughly every six months during the eclipse season in the new moon phase, when the Moon’s orbital plane is closest to the Earth’s orbit plane.
During a total solar eclipse, the Sun’s disk is completely obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses, only a portion of the Sun is obscured. Unlike lunar eclipses, which can be observed from anywhere on Earth’s night side, solar eclipses can only be seen from a relatively limited area. Consequently, while total solar eclipses occur somewhere on Earth approximately every 18 months on average, they occur at any specific location only once every 360 to 410 years.
Solar Eclipse Meaning
Solar eclipses occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align either fully or partially, offering a captivating view of either the Sun or the Moon.
Solar Eclipse Explained
During a solar eclipse, the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, creating a shadow on Earth that partially or fully blocks the Sun’s light in certain regions. This phenomenon occurs infrequently because the Moon’s orbit is not perfectly aligned with that of the Sun and Earth. The moments of alignment are known as eclipse seasons, which occur twice a year.
