Solar eclipse in Copenhagen — August 12, 2026

Copenhagen sees a deep partial eclipse — 83.5% of the Sun covered at maximum, 5.5° above the horizon.

The Sun sets here before the eclipse finishes, so the last contact time above happens below the horizon. Plan around the maximum, and make sure your view low to the west is clear.

What you'll see in Copenhagen

Artist's impression of the eclipse over Copenhagen: the Moon covering 83.5% of the Sun, 5.5° above the horizon.

Artist's impression. The size of the bite is the 83.5% published for Copenhagen, the side the Moon crosses from is its real position angle at maximum, and the Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude. The skyline itself is generic.

Keep eclipse glasses on for the whole event — the Moon never fully covers the Sun here, so it is never safe to look without them, even at maximum.

⚠ Eye safety

Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. There is no safe moment to remove them in this city — the Sun is never fully covered.
