Because the tip of the moon's shadow ... the area of "totality" ... is never more than a couple hundred miles across, It never covers a single place for more than 7 minutes, and can never stay on the Earth's surface for more than a few hours altogether during one eclipse.
If you're not inside that small area, you don't see a total eclipse.
When I see the word "which" at the beginning of your question,
I just KNOW that there's a list of choices printed right there
next to he part that you copied, and for some mysterious
reason, you decided not to let us see the choices.
Any flashlight, light bulb, laser, or spark ... like lightning ...
converts some electrical energy into some light energy.
