As for the exact timing of the partial solar eclipse, it will take place between 2 pm and 5 pm.

As per NASA, a solar eclipse transpires when the Moon drives between the Sun and the Earth, launching a shadow on Earth.

An eclipse can fully or partially block the Sun’s light in some areas.

If you are wondering what a partial solar eclipse looks like, the Moon and Sun are not entirely aligned for a partial solar eclipse, so the Moon does not thoroughly cover the Sun.

This effect can give the Sun a crescent shape.
