Free Solar Eclipse Simulator
Solar Eclipse Simulator lets you select an eclipse event, enter a city or latitude and longitude, estimate local visibility, compare start, maximum, and end times, drag the eclipse timeline, and keep eye-safety guidance close.
Built for quick Solar Eclipse Simulator planning with city presets, coordinates, obscuration estimates, and safe-viewing reminders.
Start Solar Eclipse Simulator here: choose the August 2026 total eclipse, February 2027 annular eclipse, or August 2027 total eclipse, then enter a city or coordinates.
Choose an eclipse event, select a city or enter coordinates, then Solar Eclipse Simulator estimates local visibility, timing, obscuration, and safety status.
Eclipse event
City or coordinates
Pick a preset city or switch to custom coordinates. Solar Eclipse Simulator accepts decimal latitude and longitude.
Solar Eclipse Simulator safety reminder
For every partial or annular phase, use eclipse glasses or a safe handheld solar viewer that complies with ISO 12312-2. Regular sunglasses are not safe for direct Sun viewing.

The bright line is the simplified central path; the wide glow is the broad partial-visibility band used by this rough model.
Solar Eclipse Simulator does not predict clouds, haze, smoke, horizon blockage, or last-minute weather. Check a real forecast close to the observing date.
The timeline visualizes the Moon covering the Sun from first contact to last contact using the estimated maximum obscuration.
Solar Eclipse Simulator compares your coordinates with simplified central-path samples and a broad partial-visibility radius. Local clouds, horizon altitude, exact contact times, lunar-limb corrections, and official site circumstances are outside this browser model.
Use these links for authoritative maps, local circumstances, contact times, safety guidance, and trip planning checks. This page is only a first-pass simulator.
Solar Eclipse Simulator is an educational rough model based on simplified central-path samples and a broad partial-visibility radius. It is not an official ephemeris, weather forecast, observatory notice, or travel guarantee; confirm exact local circumstances with NASA, Timeanddate, Xavier Jubier, or another authoritative source before observing.
Solar Eclipse Simulator turns eclipse-event selection plus city or coordinate input into a quick visibility, obscuration, and timing estimate.
Solar Eclipse Simulator estimates whether your location falls inside the modeled visibility zone and whether the result is total, annular, major partial, light partial, or not visible.
Solar Eclipse Simulator gives start, maximum, and end timing, then lets you scrub the eclipse timeline while keeping safe-viewing reminders visible.
Use this Solar Eclipse Simulator guide to make an early visibility plan before checking official eclipse circumstances.
Pick one of the included solar eclipse events. Solar Eclipse Simulator loads a simplified central path and event time for that eclipse.
Select a city preset or enter decimal latitude and longitude. Solar Eclipse Simulator compares that point with the approximate eclipse path.
Review estimated start, maximum, and end times, obscuration, visibility level, and the interactive phase timeline.
Use official local circumstances before travel or public observing. This Solar Eclipse Simulator is a fast education tool, not a replacement for authoritative eclipse predictions.

These Solar Eclipse Simulator answers explain visibility estimates, timing, obscuration, safety, and why official eclipse maps still matter.
Solar Eclipse Simulator compares your city or coordinates with simplified samples of the eclipse central path and a broad partial-visibility radius. It estimates a visibility grade, but it is not an official local-circumstances calculation.
Yes. Solar Eclipse Simulator estimates local start, maximum, and end times from the selected event time and modeled path distance. Treat them as planning times and verify exact contact times with authoritative eclipse predictions.
Obscuration is the estimated fraction of the Sun covered by the Moon at maximum eclipse for the selected location. Solar Eclipse Simulator expresses it as a percentage.
No. Solar Eclipse Simulator is a fast educational browser model. For travel, photography, events, or public observing, confirm with official eclipse maps and local circumstances.
Solar Eclipse Simulator reminds users to use ISO 12312-2 compliant eclipse glasses or indirect viewing for partial and annular phases. Regular sunglasses are not safe for direct solar viewing.
Verify Solar Eclipse Simulator results with official or specialist sources such as NASA eclipse pages, Timeanddate local eclipse pages, Xavier Jubier maps, national observatories, and local astronomy groups.
No. Solar Eclipse Simulator does not predict clouds, haze, smoke, rain, horizon blockage, or local access. Check weather forecasts and site conditions close to the eclipse date.
Open Solar Eclipse Simulator, choose an eclipse event, and enter a city or exact coordinates to estimate visibility, timing, and obscuration.
Then drag the Solar Eclipse Simulator timeline to preview the Moon covering the Sun and review safe-viewing reminders before you observe.
