Solar eclipse of July 20, 1982

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, July 20, 1982, with a magnitude of 0.4643. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

This was the third of four partial solar eclipses in 1982, with the others occurring on January 25, June 21, and December 15.
