Our goal is to study the impact of the April 8th, 2024, eclipse on two counties: one experiencing a total eclipse and the other a partial eclipse. By comparing these locations, we aim to understand how the eclipse influenced air temperature and sky visibility in each county. Researching these protocols can provide valuable insights into the atmospheric changes during solar eclipses, enhance our understanding of local climate responses to such events, and help improve predictive models for future eclipses.
