Where and When Can You See It?

The visibility of a total solar eclipse depends on your location. Regions within the path of totality experience complete darkness for a short time, while others see a partial eclipse. For example, during the 2026 eclipse, totality will be visible in parts of Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal. Observers in other areas, including India, will not see the eclipse directly but may experience a partial view if within the broader shadow path.
