A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, November 10, 1920,[1] with a magnitude of 0.742. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow passes above or below the Earth.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Canada, the United States, Northwest Africa, and Western Europe.
