Summarize this article for a 10 year old
A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Saturday, January 24, 1925, with a magnitude of 1.0304. 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 from southwestern and southeastern Quebec in Canada, and the United States, including Toronto, Niagara Falls and the northern part of New York City.
