š¤What is a total solar eclipse?
šA total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth. The Moon blocks light from the Sun and casts a shadow on Earth.
šA total solar eclipse is visible from within the region of full shadow behind the Moon, called the āumbraā.
šA partial eclipse is visible from regions on Earth within the partial shadow - the āpenumbraā.
