What type of eclipse occurs with the greatest frequency?
Lunar eclipses occur more frequently than Solar eclipses. About 70 eclipses take place in regular cycles lasting 18 years and 8 or 9 days; usually 41 of these eclipses are solar and 29 are lunar.
How long does it take for the suns solar energy to reach earth?
About 8-1/3 minutes.
How many years in between each eclipse?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Because solar eclipses cover a very narrow stripe across the Earth, solar eclipses SEEM TO BE rare - in one particular location. There can be several CENTURIES between total solar eclipses in the same spot. On the other hand, it can be just a few years. There's a town in Illinois that will have two total solar eclipses only 8 years apart, in 2017 and 2024.
Were there any eclipses in 1998?
There are typically two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Now, let me look up 1998.....There was a total solar eclipse on February 26, 1998 visible in the northernmost tip of South America, and an annular solar eclipse on August 22, visible along a path through Malaysia and Indonesia.There were three penumbral lunar eclipses, on March 13, August 8 and September 6.

What are the dates of total solar eclipses for the next 10 years?
The catalog of all eclipses from the year 2000 BCE to 3000 AD is available at the NASA Eclipse Web Site, at the link below.
Is it true that a solar eclipse happen every 370 years?
Pick any year that has a solar eclipse, and there's a darn good chancethat there'll be one 370 years later.There are typically 1 - 4 of them every year.In the 100 years from 1901 to 1000, there were 228 solar eclipses,for an average of 2.28 per year.
How long does a solar eclipse happen?
There are generally two solar eclipses per year, and two lunar eclipses per year. The next solar eclipse will happen on January 26, 2009. It will be an "annular" eclipse; the Moon will be near its apogee (farthest point from Earth in its orbit) and will not completely cover the Sun. This is sometimes called a "ring of fire" eclipse. The eclipse will be (was) visible along a line from South Africa to Indonesia. From South Africa or India, it will be visible as a partial eclipse.
When will the suns solar flares reach the earth?
about 8 to 12 minutes
How long is 8 minutes?
To calculate how long 8 minutes is you should take seconds and multiply it with 8 that would be............ 480
How long is the sun blocked during a solar eclipse?
Up to a maximum of 7 or 8 minutes of totality, at any one place. Depending on circumstances, totality may last anything from a few seconds up to about 8 minutes. 2 or 3 minutes is fairly typical.
Why does the eclipse happen so late does it happen every years or in the 100s of years?
Both solar eclipses and lunar eclipses are fairly common; there are 1-2 of each every year. ______________________________ Solar eclipses SEEM TO BE rare, because each one affects only a small area on the Earth. For example, the last total solar eclipse had a path across the south Pacific Ocean, including a few atolls in French Polynesia, Easter Island, and the southern tip of South America. If you live in a particular spot and never travel much, you might see one solar eclipse in your lifetime, and you might NOT. It would be rare for one place to see two total solar eclipses in one lifetime. (But not impossible; Carbondale, IL will have two total solar eclipses 8 years apart, in 2017 and 2024. ) On the other hand, if you live in Los Angeles, CA, the next total solar eclipse will be in about 500 years.
