Solar eclipse in Tunis, Tunisia, August 2, 2027: times and how much of the Sun is covered

Partial eclipse: up to 97.0% of the Sun is covered. Totality is not visible here.

The Sun is 55° above the horizon, toward the southeast, at mid-eclipse.

Even 99% coverage is very different from totality: the sky only goes dark, and the corona only appears, when the Sun is 100% covered. Nearest place on this list with totality: Sfax, Tunisia, about 236 km away (5 min 43 s of totality).
