total solar eclipse
An eclipse happens when one astronomical body blocks light from or to another. In a lunar eclipse, the Moon moves into the shadow of Earth cast by the Sun. ... In a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun and stops some or all of the Sun's light from reaching Earth.
