No people on Earth will see the total solar eclipse occur because the Earth spins on its axis. B. The Moon's shadow is cast on all of Earth, so people in all locations will see the total solar eclipse. C. Only people at certain locations on Earth will see the total solar eclipse as it occurs. D. People in some locations will see a total solar eclipse and a total lunar eclipse at the same time.

Answer 1

C: Only people at certain locations on Earth will see the total solar eclipse as it occurs.

Step-by-step explanation:

"When the Moon is aligned with the Earth and Sun, it casts a shadow on Earth. However, this shadow is only cast over a small area. As the Earth rotates, the Moon casts its shadow along a line until the Moon moves out from between the Sun and Earth. This shadow does not cover the whole surface of Earth. Therefore, only people at certain locations on Earth will see the total solar eclipse as it occurs."
