How long did the 2007 total solar eclipse in the US last for?
There were no total solar eclipses during 2007. There was one total lunar eclipse, one partial lunar eclipse, and two partial solar eclipses.
How many total eclipse were there in 2009?
About two per year, since the Moon formed. So, around 4000 solar eclipses (and 4000 lunar eclipses) since the year 1. You can check the list of all eclipses since the year 2000 BC on the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.
Why lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses and why so few people get the chance to view a total solar eclipse?
Actually solar eclipses are slightly more common, but a solar eclipse, and especially the total phase, can only be seen in a relatively narrow strip of Earth.
Why do you observe solar and lunar eclipses?
because of our location on earth so depending on where we are on earth you can see a total or partial solar and lunar eclipses
How often will a solar eclipse happen in a year?
Most years, there are two solar eclipses. Some years, because of the precise geometry between the Sun, Earth and Moon, we have two partial eclipses instead of one total or annular eclipse. Very rarely, there are FOUR solar eclipses in one calendar year.Because each eclipse affects only a tiny area of the Earth, it is fairly rare for one location to experience two total solar eclipses in the same decade, and it isn't uncommon for there to be centuries between total solar eclipses for any specific spot on the Earth.
How often do total solar eclipses occur?
About twice a year.
What are the kinds of eclipses?
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
When is the 2011 eclipse?
There will be four partial solar eclipses in 2011, and NO total solar eclipses. You can view the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Page.
