Answer:

I belive it's false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acording to NASA's spaceplace website, Getting a chance to see a total solar eclipse is rare. The Moon's shadow on Earth isn't very big, so only a small portion of places on Earth will see it. ( which includes everyone in North America plus parts of South America, Africa, and Europe will see at least a partial solar eclipse, while the thin path of totality will pass through portions of 14 states)

Also Fun Fact:A total eclipse occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright light of the Sun, allowing the much fainter solar corona to be visible. During any one eclipse, totality occurs at best only in a narrow track on the surface of Earth. This narrow track is called the path of totality. (Credit: NASA )
