City-Dwellers will have a front-seat view of the last solar eclipse of the year, scheduled to take place on the morning of December 26, during which, 84.2 per cent of the Sun will be covered by the Moon.

A solar eclipse takes place when the Moon comes between the Fn, casting its shadow on certain parts of the Earth. In these regions, the Sun is seen as being partially or completely hidden behind the Moon. Therefore, by definition, a solar eclipse takes place during the new moon (amavasya) and a lunar eclipse takes place during a full moon (purnima).
