Nothing, hence total solar eclipse.

Actually, the mass of the Sun itself is hidden behind the Moon, but the tenuous and wispy atmosphere of the Sun, called the "corona", extends a few million miles out into space. The corona is fairly dim; compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is invisible. But when the Sun is hidden behind the Moon, the corona is still mostly visible.
AND if you are in middle school the simple answer would be the corona and the photoCORONACORONA
The ring visible as the moon passes in front of the sun during a solar eclipse is called the corona. This appears durian a total solar eclipse, when the apparent size of the moon is larger than the sun.During an annular eclipse, where the moon's apparent size is smaller than the sun, the ring visible around the moon is called the annulus.
If there is a total lunar eclipse, everybody sees it as total. If there is a total solar eclipse, only people in a small part of Earth see it as total - most will see it as a partial eclipse, or not at all.
The next solar eclipse will be a total solar eclipse on July 22, 2009. The eclipse will be visible in a path from northern India through China and across the Pacific ocean. It will not be visible in Europe or the Americas.
The next solar eclipse visible from Abilene, Texas is a partial solar eclipse on October 14, 2023. It will not be a total solar eclipse in Abilene, but a portion of the Sun will be blocked by the Moon.
Sometimes, during a total solar eclipse, the corona of sun is visible to our eyes.

No single eclipse ... solar or lunar ... is ever visible from every place on earth.No single solar eclipse is ever visible from every place or even half of the earth.
The Umbra
There were partial solar eclipses visible from Phoenix including a 71% eclipse on April 7, 1940. There were no total solar eclipses visible in Phoenix during the 1940's.

The outermost layer of the sun, corona, is visible during a total solar eclipse.
