A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s disk, momentarily plunging a portion of the Earth into complete darkness.
The Paris Observatory said in a statement that Tuesday’s eclipse is only partial, and the “Moon’s shadow will not touch the surface of the Earth at any point,”
