Default How Total is a Total Solar Eclipse ??

Best picture I have of one is one taken by Professor Jeanette Stock in
Venezuela. It shows the uneven rays of light surrounding the black
Moon.(breath taking) Is the Moon a perfect size disk? Do the mountains
on the Moon have any effect? how much better could this total effect
be? what are the odds of size and distance creating such a great
blocking of the Sun? Bert
