According to the total solar eclipse path map created by French eclipse expert Xavier Jubier, this path stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, covering an area of 100-123 miles (162-200 km). As the path moves northeast, the maximum duration of totality will decrease due to the changing distance between the moon and the Earth. Along the Mexican Pacific coast, the possible total time is 4 minutes 27 seconds.

The longest total eclipse occurred in Nazas near Durango, Mexico. As the moon's shadow grew larger, people were able to witness a total solar eclipse for 4 minutes and 28 seconds. After that, the moon's shadow lengthened and narrowed, decreasing to a maximum total of 2 minutes and 52 seconds as the path exited North America in Newfoundland.
