Ohio Parks With The Best Views To See The Total Solar Eclipse
According to NASA, solar eclipses occur when the moon's path crosses directly before the sun. The path of totality is where observers will see the Moon completely cover the Sun. According to The Great American Eclipse, many parts of the state will be in total darkness for a few minutes. The rest of the state will see the sun at least 95% blocked by the moon. The total solar eclipse visits Ohio on April 8th at 3:08 pm with the final exit of the Moon’s shadow from the state at 3:19 pm. Ohio's last visible total solar eclipse was over 200 years ago in 1806. So planning to be in the best spot to catch it is important. And there are parks in several counties for you to do that.
