Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A total solar eclipse occurs for people in the Sun's umbra. The umbra is the darkest and innermost part of a shadow where the light source is completely blocked. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's light and creating a region of complete darkness in the umbra for those located in its path.
