According to Dang Tuan Duy, Ho Chi Minh City Amateur Astronomical Club (HAAC), the best total solar eclipse is seen in the southern provinces , furthering the northern maximum coverage gradually decreasing. The peak eclipse took place in the early morning at 7 am when the Sun was not high.

"On the morning of March 9, it is not rainy or sunny, it is convenient to observe a solar eclipse" , the expert of the Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting and Center said.

The actual eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, now looking from the earth, it seems that the moon obscures part or all of the sun. Solar eclipse occurs every year when the earth is at the closest position to the sun and the moon in the farthest position from the globe. So the moon is not large enough to obscure the entire sun and the two dark half regions created by the moon will expand more than when the total solar eclipse, while overlapping each other, forms an area called the shadow zone. fake. Residents of the regions of the earth that are simulated by this shadow zone will observe the annular solar eclipse, and in the midnight region a partial eclipse will be observed.
