How long did the 2007 total solar eclipse in the US last for?
The 2007 total solar eclipse in the US lasted for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds at its longest point. The path of totality traveled across parts of the western US, including northern California, Nevada, and Utah.
What is the max number of solar eclipses in a year?
Five is the theoretical maximum number of solar eclipses in one calendar year; generally 4 partial eclipses and one total or annular eclipse. This configuration happens about every 200 years or so. Interestingly, there will be four solar eclipses in 2011; all will be partial eclipses, visible (if at all) only from polar regions. The last time there were five solar eclipses in a year was in 1935; the next time will be in 2206.
Why do more people sThe 2 stage in the giant impact hypothesis for the formation of the Moon dictates thatee a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse?
More people see total lunar eclipses than total solar eclipses because the Earth casts a much larger shadow on the Moon than the Moon does on the Earth. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon can be visible to anyone on the night side of Earth, while a total solar eclipse is only visible from a narrow path on the Earth's surface. Additionally, lunar eclipses can last for several hours, giving more people the opportunity to witness them, whereas total solar eclipses are brief events lasting only a few minutes.
When was the last solar eclipse in atlanta GA in US?
There have been three or four partial eclipses in each decade, but the last TOTAL solar eclipse visible in Atlanta, GA was on June 24, 1778. The NEXT total solar eclipse visible in Atlanta will be on May 11, 2078.
When was your last solar eclipse?
There are generally two solar eclipses per year, but 2011 is "special" - we get FOUR solar eclipses, all partial. You can see the catalog of all solar eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Page.
When was the last time you saw a solar eclipses?
a long time ago
When is the eclipse movie premiere in London?
There was a partial solar eclipse on 2008-Aug-01, but you probably didn't notice. The last total solar eclipse was 1715-May-03. King George I probably enjoyed the show. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. About half of those are partial. Total lunar eclipses seem to be more frequent, because it is visible from the entire dark side of the Earth, while solar eclipses cover a very narrow path across the Earth. The last total LUNAR eclipse in London (and western Europe and most of North America) was on February 21, 2008.
How long does and eclipse last?
The duration of an eclipse varies depending on the type of eclipse and specific circumstances. A total solar eclipse can last up to about 7.5 minutes at its maximum, while a lunar eclipse can last several hours, with the total phase lasting up to about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Partial eclipses and other variations have shorter durations. Overall, the length of an eclipse is influenced by the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
How many miles does an eclipse last?
A total solar eclipse can last up to a maximum of about 7.5 minutes along the path of totality, which can be up to 167 miles wide. However, the duration of the total eclipse experience for any given location is usually shorter, often in the range of a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
What was the last lunar eclipse?
Check the link to http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html. Looks like the last total eclipse of the Moon was on August 1, 2008. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Depending on the precise alignment of the Earth-Moon system, we sometimes get two partial eclipses instead of one of the total ones; 2009 is such a year. This year, we get three penumbral and one partial lunar eclipses.

What effect does a solar eclipse have on plants or animals?
During a solar eclipse, there is a temporary decrease in light intensity. This may cause some plants to close their stomata or decrease photosynthesis rates. For animals, it can trigger changes in behavior, such as birds returning to their nests thinking it is dusk. Overall, the impact on plants and animals during a solar eclipse is minimal and they usually adjust quickly to the changes.
