Summarize this article for a 10 year old
A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Wednesday, September 3, 2081, with a magnitude of 1.072. 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. The path of totality will begin at the Atlantic Ocean, off European mainland at 07:26:49 UTC and will end at Indonesian island of Java at 10:43:03 UTC.[1]
