Solar eclipses are visible only for a small portion of the Earth's surface where the moon covers the sun. Lunar eclipses in which the Earth's shadow covers the moon are visible for long distances but it's the color of the moon effected by those not the Earth.

How are solar eclipses alike from lunar eclipses?

All eclipses are shadows. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth. A lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.


Where in the earth can you experience eclipses?

Eclipses can potentially be experienced anywhere on Earth. Eclipses are due to the positions of the Sun and the Moon in relation to Earth. Every eclipse affects different parts of Earth and the same ones can be seen differently from different parts of Earth or not at all in some parts. On other occasions places that did not see one the last time, will see it. If you keep looking at astronomy websites and the news you will find out when eclipses are due and where on Earth they will best be seen from.


Why is solar eclipse fairly uncommon phenomenon?

Rather than being uncommon, solar eclipses are routine; there are generally two per year, sometimes more. However, the area on the Earth affected by a solar eclipse is quite tiny; normally a stripe a hundred miles wide and a few thousand miles long. Given that the Earth's surface is three-quarters water, many eclipses are not visible from land at all. So from a given point on the Earth's surface, there may be many years - indeed, centuries - between eclipses. This is in contrast to lunar eclipses, which happen with the same regularity as solar eclipses. However, a lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night hemisphere of the Earth.
