A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and theSun, 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.
