Question

true
false

Just need to know if my answer or right or wrong. Thanks! :)

false

Answer 1

Hmmm interestingly worded question. From wikipedia - A total eclipse occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright disk of the Sun, allowing the much fainter solar corona to be visible. During any one eclipse, totality only occurs at best in a narrow track on the surface of the Earth.

Thus to put it another way there is a narrow track along which no direct sunlight reaches the Earth. However I can tell you from personal experience that it is still light enough to see so some sunlight is reaching that point.

Thus if the question is asking about direct sunlight then the answer is true. But more generally talking about sunlight then the answer is false.
