The next solar eclipse will happen on July 2 in part of Latin America. Also, what is most surprising is that it will be a total solar eclipse.

We must remember that the visibility of the eclipse and the times will vary with respect to our location, so it is necessary to know these types of aspects.

The duration of the total phase of the eclipse is calculated to be 4:30 minutes, although it will vary depending on the country. For example, the duration of its entirety in Chile will be 2:15 minutes ; while in Argentina it may be 2:11 minutes depending on the region.

On the other hand, you should also make sure to wear sunglasses with UV protection to avoid vision problems.

Experts recommend perceiving it only for a few seconds and then looking down. This will help us avoid damaging our visibility. Remember to perform this procedure even if you will be viewing it with UV-protected lenses.
