Look at the diagram of a solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse with labels 1 through 4. 1: The moon. 2: A location on Earth directly in line with the center of the Sun and Moon. 3: A location above 2. 4: A location below and right of 2.
At which location is the solar eclipse viewed in totality?

Location 2 lies in the Moon's umbral shadow (directly along the Sun–Moon center line), so an observer there sees the Sun completely covered (totality). Location 3 would be in the penumbra (partial eclipse); location 4 would miss the shadow.
