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. This event is only visible from a small area on Earth due to the narrow path of the Moon's shadow. During an eclipse, the Earth temporarily goes dark, causing confusion among birds and plants.
