A total solar eclipse means that no sunlight reaches a certain area on earth.

true
false

Just need to know if my answer or right or wrong. Thanks! :)

false

Hmmm interestingly worded question. From wikipedia - A total eclipse occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright disk of the Sun, allowing the much fainter solar corona to be visible. During any one eclipse, totality only occurs at best in a narrow track on the surface of the Earth.

Thus to put it another way there is a narrow track along which no direct sunlight reaches the Earth. However I can tell you from personal experience that it is still light enough to see so some sunlight is reaching that point.

Thus if the question is asking about direct sunlight then the answer is true. But more generally talking about sunlight then the answer is false.

Thanks Dr.Russ

Your answer is incorrect. A total solar eclipse does indeed mean that no sunlight reaches a certain area on Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, temporarily blocking the Sun's light from reaching the specific region of the Earth that falls within the Moon's shadow.
