In most cities, the eclipse will cause darkness during the day and a ring-shaped halo around the sun.
The second solar eclipse in Pakistan this year will be on December 14.
Astronomers say that the eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun. For this reason it is also called the Ring of Fire.
Astronomers say the Ring of Fire can be seen from Sukkur to Gwadar.

Regarding the lunar eclipse, Director Met Office Khalid Mahmood said that it would be difficult to see it with the naked eye.
