SHOW ALL QUESTIONS
A total solar eclipse occurred on April 6, 1875. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Totality was visible on the southern tip of Africa, across the Indian Ocean, and across southeastern Asia and Northern Philippines.
