Question

How is it possible that an area of the world can go temporarily dark in the middle of the
day?

Answer 1

As you know earth rotates and so does the sun and moon, and occasionaly the moon will cover sun when its souposed to be day but this would only happen very rarely because it takes planets a very long time to overlap when rotating the orbit.

Answer 2

This is possible through a solar eclipse.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• At midday, the incidence of sunlight on the earth reaches its greatest intensity, which means that this is the time when a city should be illuminated by sunlight.
• However, some cities experience an event known as a solar eclipse, which allows for a short period, the city becomes dark at midday.

The solar eclipse occurs when the moon places itself between the earth and the sun. This ends up causing a blockage of sunlight, which cannot reach as it hits the moon.

The moon, in turn, casts a shadow that darkens the earth, even at midday. This effect is temporary and wears off after a few hours.
