An eclipse happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun blocking its light.
It occurs once every one or two years, but each time it can only be seen in certain parts of the world.
There are three different types of eclipse.
A total eclipse is when the Moon completely blocks the Sun and everything goes dark for a few seconds.
A partial eclipse is when the Moon only blocks a bit of the Sun.
And an annular eclipse happens when the Moon is fully in front of the Sun, but is far away from the Earth, so it can't fully cover the Sun and what looks like a ring of fire is left around it.
According to Nasa, it will reach land at 11:07am PDT (7.07pm in the UK), around the Mexican Pacific coast.
After travelling through Mexico, it will enter the US at Texas, before passing through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
