Yes. Every total solar eclipse that happens for one observer is a partial eclipse for someone situated farther away.
Every time a total solar eclipse is viewed from Earth, without exception, there will also be a partial solar eclipsed as viewed by other lucky people not located within the path of totality. Do not write me back about people standing on stilts at the Earth's north and south poles.
Not only is it possible, it is an absolute certainty. Not all partial solar eclipses can be total ones too, but all total eclipses are partial eclipses somewhere.

An eclipse depends on the orbital positions of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun.
A Meteor shower depends on the orbital positions of the Earth and any one of the many sources of meteoroids which orbit the Sun.
There are about 20 annual meteor showers spread across the calendar, notably the Perseids, which peak on August 12 of each year at over 1 meteor a minute, and what is probably the most spectacular meteor shower - the Leonids, which peaks on a day near 17 November.
These showers are independent of the positions of the Moon and the Sun.

How often does a Solar Eclipse occur at the same place?
Solar eclipses are pretty quick; a half-hour or so of partial eclipse a few minutes - seven minutes, tops - of totality, and a half-hour of decreasing partial eclipse. Lunar eclipses can last much longer. An hour or more of partial eclipse, up to 90 minutes or so of totality, and another hour of partial eclipse. Every eclipse is different. The differences in the durations are that the Earth's shadow, like the Earth itself, is much larger than the Moon's shadow. The NASA web page of eclipse details will tell you how long each eclipse will last, depending on your location. See the link below.
What are lunar rays are the same age as?
The ray systems correspond to the craters produced at the same time. Some ray systems on the Moon are from older craters that have since been overlaid by subsequent impacts in the same area.
What is a non example of solar energy?
The lights on a covered stadium, do the same job but it is not solar energy
How can you eradicate superstition with help of science?
Superstitions are always associated with Solar Eclipse, specially in India, where Astrologers make fast money by indicting fear in the public. This is happening since centuries. Earlier our Ancestors didn't wanted to see the Eclipse, fearing EYE SAFETY, as they were neither had safety mechanisms, nor aware of Scientific Methods to witness this Fantastic Celestial Event, and hence propagated blind beliefs and superstitions to avoid watching the Eclipse. This is the main reason why people even today, do not want to come out of their homes, during the Eclipse. Times changed now, with easy availability of SOLAR FILTERS, and the Scientific Community, atleast now should aggressively encourage everybody to witness this Astronomical Wonder, with Media supporting the same, and provide resources to the public for procuring safe and scientific methods to witness eclipse like www.astronomyindia.org/shop Once they witness the Eclipse and get thrilled, they lose the fear of viewing the Eclipse, and also simultaneously shun Superstitions related with Eclipse.
What is what scientist expect to happen every time under a particular set of conditions?
If all conditions are the same, then the same results will occur. (Objective reality is deterministic.) If a scientific theory predicts a certain result but it does not occur always, then the theory is incomplete or incorrect (or both).
Why isn't there a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
It depends.. If your planet has 2 or more moons then it its possible to have a solar and lunar eclipse at the same time.
Can there be a gibbous moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time?
No. A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full.
What are the differences between solar and lunar eclipses?
A solar eclipse happens when the moon (that is passing between the sun and earth) covers the sun. At same point, the sun will only be partially visible (parcial eclipse) or will not visible at all (total eclipse). A lunar eclipse happens when the earth is between the sun and the moon. 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.
What kind of eclipse will occur if the moon is in the outer portion of the shadow?
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
Is a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse more rare?
Yes very rare almost after like every 2 or 3 years
How do you get a full solar eclipse?
You don't "get" a solar eclipse. The occur randomly in nature as the orbits of the earth and moon are so that the moon is between the sun and Earth where the moon blocks the light from the sun from reaching Earth. The same goes for the opposite, the lunar eclipse.
Can there be a lunar ecplicse and solar at the same time?
No. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the sun and the moon.
If you were on the moon during a lunar eclipse what kind of eclipse would you experience?
It would still be a lunar eclipse just on the moon and everything would be red. If you are on earth and a Lunar or a Solar eclipse happens than you are actually light than you would be regularly. To find out how much you weigh you take your weight and divide it by 1.5. So a lunar eclipse is just the same a lunar eclipse.
Why doesn't a lunar or solar eclipse occur every 15 days?
The orbit of the moon is not perfectly uniform about the earth (the same can be said about the planets orbiting the sun). The alignment of the earth moon and sun has to be perfect for an eclipse to occur, it rarely is though.
Do eclipses occur monthly?
Eclipses of Jupiter's moons occur daily. But if you mean the regular solar and lunar eclipses, no, most of the time the Moon will pass by one of the sides of the position required for the eclipse, so there is no eclipse. That is because the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and the Moon's orbit around the Earth, are not exactly in the same plane.Eclipses of Jupiter's moons occur daily.

How is the lunar and solar eclipse the same?
In both cases, there is an alignment involving the Sun, Earth, and the Moon.
What is the same about solar eclipse and lunar eclipses?
The thing that is the same is that the same three bodies are lined up. In lunar eclipses, the order is Sun, Earth, Moon and in solar eclipses, it's Sun, Moon, Earth.
