Muscat: The evening classes will be suspended on Tuesday October 25, 2022 due to the partial solar eclipse that the Sultanate of Oman will witness today.
Oman News Agency (ONA) said in a statement :"Evening schools will be suspended and the study will end in the morning schools after the sixth class. Provided that students will resume their studies on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, due to the partial solar eclipse that the sky of the Sultanate of Oman will witness."
The Oman Astronomical Society previously said that the partial solar eclipse will begin at 14:50 MCT, while the peak of the partial eclipse will reach at 15:57, and will end at 16:58. Therefore, the partial solar eclipse will last approximately 2 hours and 7 minutes.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, so that the sun, the moon and the earth are in one straight line. As a result, the moon covers the sun temporarily, and blocks its rays for a short period so that it casts a shadow on a portion of the earth.
