Dear TBS Sir,
Different places in the U S of A will see the eclipse at different times.
From the commencement to end of eclipse it will take two to three hours.
But the total eclipse will be ONLY for 2 mts 40 secs.
The chart below will help to know the time of total Solar eclipse, at different places:
The chart below lists the moment of mid-totality and the duration of totality for a handful of cities that lie close to the center of the path.
Data from NASA.
