A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Sunday, November 4, 2040,[1] with a magnitude of 0.8074. 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 misses the Earth.
A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America.
