No. The moon is so small that by the time its shadow reaches the earth, it has tapered down considerably. (Sometimes the shadow doesn't even reach all the way to earth; that's when the solar eclipse is 'annular'.) Best case, the moon's shadow is a spot on the earth about 120 miles across. The longest that any one place on earth can be in it (longest view of totality) is about 7-1/2 minutes, until the shadow moves away from where you're standing.

When sunlight hits the earth it projects a shadow and, if the moon is somewhere in the area of that shadow, it will not be visible.
