Annular Solar Eclipse To Arrive Today: “Ring of Fire” Effect Expected

The annular solar eclipse on October 2 will start at 9:13 PM IST and end at 3:17 PM IST the next day, showcasing a striking “ring of fire” as the Moon appears smaller than the Sun. The speed of the Moon’s shadow will vary significantly, reaching over 10 million km/h in some areas while slowing to about 2,057 km/h. The longest duration of the ring will be 7 minutes and 25 seconds.
