Eclipse total solar

The video explains the natural phenomenon of a total solar eclipse, which occurs approximately every 18 months when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. This event is visible only from a small area on Earth and lasts a few minutes. During the eclipse, the sky darkens, birds may return to their nests, and some plants close.
