What Makes the Solar Eclipse 2nd August 2027 Special? 

The Solar Eclipse August 2, 2027, is no ordinary eclipse! Several expert astronomers claim this ‘Great North African Eclipse’ is special for several reasons. Let us discover what special things will happen on August 2, 2027: 

• Earth will be the farthest from the Sun (Aphelion): This astronomical position will cause the Sun to appear slightly smaller. 
• The Moon will be closest to the Earth (Perigee): This astronomical position, which occurs on August 2, will make the Moon appear slightly larger than usual. 
• Equatorial Shadow Path: The eclipse path is near the equator, where the Moon’s shadow moves more slowly across the Earth. 
• Longest Total Solar Eclipse: The Solar Eclipse 2nd August, 2027 is set to be the longest total solar eclipse visible from land between 1991 and 2114. 

The Mystery of Total Black Out for 6 Minutes 

Will there be a total blackout for 6 minutes? Let’s find out! The combination of Aphelion, Perigee, and the Equatorial Shadow path will make possible an astronomical event that occurs only once every 100 years. 

Moon’s slower movement means its shadow will move more slowly or block the Sun than an ordinary solar eclipse. This is why a typical solar eclipse lasts for approximately two to three minutes, but the Great North African Eclipse will last for 6 minutes and 23 seconds.
