A solar eclipse will happen on Sunday, February 28, 2044. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon goes between the Earth and the Sun, and blocking or partly hiding the image of the Sun for someone on Earth. An annular solar eclipse is when the Moon looks smaller than the sun, blocking most of the Sun's light and making the Sun look like a ring. An annular eclipse looks like a partial eclipse over a large part of the world.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of Antarctica and much of South America.
