Solar eclipse of July 31, 2000

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Monday, July 31, 2000, with a magnitude of 0.6034. 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. It was visible from northern Russia, northeastern Scandinavia, northern Greenland, western Canada, and the northwestern United States.

This was the third of four partial solar eclipses in 2000, with the others occurring on February 5, July 1, and December 25.
