next total solar eclipse in brazil
People in Brazil have to wait until August 12, 2045 for a total solar eclipse seen from the country, and only in the north and northeast: the band of totality crosses Belém and São Luís. Before that there is the partial eclipse of February 6, 2027, visible across the country (78% of the Sun in São Paulo), and the annular eclipse of January 26, 2028, which forms a perfect ring over Manaus. The tool computes each of them for your city.
Partial, visible across the country.
A ring of about 7 minutes.

Only partial, with the Sun at 17 degrees.
Between 1901 and 2100, NASA's catalog (Espenak) lists 2 to 5 solar and 2 to 4 lunar eclipses a year, 4 to 7 in all. They come in seasons: the Sun crosses the plane of the Moon's orbit about every 173 days, so there are two seasons a year, each with a solar and a lunar eclipse about two weeks apart. In 2026 there are four: an annular solar eclipse on February 17, a total lunar on March 3, a total solar on August 12 and a partial lunar on August 28.
On August 12, 2045, in the north and northeast of the country, with totality crossing cities such as Belém and São Luís. Until then Brazil only gets partial eclipses and, on January 26, 2028, an annular one in Manaus.
In an annular eclipse the Moon is farther away and does not cover the whole Sun: a ring of light remains, with a magnitude of 0.921. That is why the sky does not darken as in totality, and eclipse glasses must stay on the whole time.
About 78% of the solar disc, with maximum at 1:21 p.m. and the Sun at 74 degrees. It is a large partial, but it still requires ISO 12312-2 glasses for the whole eclipse.
