What is the thin red rim around the Sun during a total solar eclipse called?
When there is a total solar eclipse the rim around the outside is called the corona. Smaller arc shapes at the surface are known as solar prominences.
Do partial lunar eclipse occur more often than total eclipse?
Total solar eclipses are much less frequent because it is much more likely that part of a planet/moon/satellite gets partly in our way of the sun than a planet/moon/satellite gets 100% in our way.
How many different shapes are there?
There are many geometric shapes but if you count the organic ones there is billons.

Why is it necessary for cells to be different shapes and sizes?
If they were the same shapes and sizes then life would be exceedingly boring.

How does the moon get different shapes?
the sun rays always reaching to the moon. when the earth block the sun rays from reaching the moon, the lunar eclipse can be formed. But the moon revolves round the earth, the blocks are removing from the moon. so the moon got different shapes.

Why are shapes and sizes of cell different?
Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.
How are areas of regular shapes calculated?
There are different formulae for different shapes.
What is two shapes that are different sizes called?
If they are the same shapes but differ only in size, then they are SIMILAR shapes. Otherwise, they are simply different shapes.
During intercourse to people's faces always match up?
No, people come in different sizes and shapes.
Why has the moon got different shapes?
The moon itself cannot generate light. It is the sun light that the moon reflects. When a part of moon is behind the earth, the moon seems different; when the whole moon is shaded by the earth, an eclipse happens.
Why clouds forms different shapes?
because the wind blows them into different shapes. :)
Why do partial eclipses of the moon occur more frequently than total solar eclipse's?
A total eclipse requires the moon to be directly in line with the earth and the sun. Because the plane of its orbit is tilted off that of the earth's orbit around the sun by about 5 degrees, the moon will often pass through a small part of the sun's line, but only rarely through the whole of it. So, partial eclipses are far more frequent than total eclipses. Additionally because of a coincidence in sizes and distances, only a small part of the earth, that area directly 'under' the moon, will experience a total eclipse when one occurs; again, the surrounding area receives a partial eclipse. Also affecting this are the shapes of the orbits; both are elliptic, so the distance from moon to earth and earth to sun varies. When the moon is further away and the sun is nearer, we do not see a total eclipse either - just something called an annular eclipse (because of the large ring of light created around the moon). When the moon is closer and the sun further away, we finally have the chance to see a total eclipse.
Can two shapes have the same perimeter?
Yes - even shapes with different area.
