A total solar eclipse will occur on Wednesday, March 30, 2033. 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 total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.

Totality will be visible in Nome, Alaska, Utqiaġvik, Alaska and the Chukchi Peninsula in the mid-morning hours. This is the last of 55 umbral eclipses of Solar Saros 120. The first was in 1059. The total duration is 974 years.
