You can see a solar eclipse from the surface of the earth, but you have be in the right region. The path of a total solar eclipse is a narrow strip with a width of 0-50 miles, with a partial eclipse visible either side.

On the other hand a lunar eclipse can be seen from half of the earth's total surface.

So solar eclipses seem to occur less frequently, but this is not actually the case.

The last total solar eclipse was on August 1, 2008. The path of totality started in northern Canada, passed the northern tip of Greenland, and crossed the Arctic Ocean to northern Russia, passing Novosibirsk and on through much of China.

In general, a solar eclipse will be visible for a few minutes along a narrow track across the surface of the Earth. No two eclipse tracks are ever exactly the same.

You can view the eclipse tracks for each eclipse, and the exact schedule, on the NASA Eclipse Web Page, at the link below.

A total solar eclipse is visible from any point on Earth that is within the umbra of the

moon's fleeting shadow. Such points are always on the daytime side of the Earth.

A solar eclipse is only visible along a relatively narrow path. That path can cross just about any point on Earth, but for any given eclipse, only a few locations can see the eclipse.
