A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth at just the right moment. Sometimes, the Moon only blocks part of the Sun’s light which is called a partial solar eclipse. Other times, the Moon blocks all of the Sun’s light which is called a total solar eclipse. As the Moon blocks the Sun’s light, it casts a shadow on part of the Earth. The Moon’s shadow creates a trail as Earth rotates, and this trail is called the path of totality. Places in the path of totality will experience total darkness during an eclipse since the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s light for a few minutes resembling night time. On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America. The eclipse will pass over parts of Mexico, the central and eastern United States, and southeastern Canada. The path of totality will first enter the United States in Texas, then pass through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Cleveland, as well as much of northern Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania, will experience totality during the mid afternoon. Cleveland will experience totality between 3:13 and 3:17 PM EDT.
