On August 11, a partial solar eclipse will occur in the sky, and it will be visible in China’s major cities. In the evening of August 11, this partial solar eclipse will take place; it is the only solar eclipse that can be observed in China this year. In particular, the phenomenon of \"a tengu biting the sun\" can be seen in the northern regions of our country, while a \"sunset with a solar eclipse\" can be observed in the central and eastern regions. It is said that there are mainly three key moments during a solar eclipse: the first contact, which occurs when the Moon approaches the Sun; this is the moment when the apparent circular surfaces of the Sun and Moon first touch each other from the outside, marking the start of the eclipse in that area. Eclipsion occurs when the Moon and the Sun are at their closest distance to each other; at this moment, the maximum amount of the Sun’s surface is obscured. The end of the eclipse occurs when the Moon moves away from the Sun, at the moment when the apparent circular surfaces of the Sun and Moon are in external tangency for the second time; this marks the end of the eclipse as observed in that location.
