During a total solar eclipse the Moon perfectly blocks the sun for a brief period of time. This causes a dramatic decrease in daylight for those in the moon’s umbral shadow.

< />

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s shadow partially misses the Earth. Or when an annular or total eclipse is viewed from outside the Moon’s umbral shadow. Because Oklahoma City is not in the Moon’s umbral shadow, the Path of Totality, Science Museum Oklahoma will experience 93.9% totality of the solar eclipse on this date.
