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 does the temp of air be on a solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse doesn't last long enough to affect the air temperature. The air is heated by the ground below. However, the temperature we "feel" is a combination of the air temperature and the Sun's light and heat hitting our bodies. Since the Moon blocks the Sun during an eclipse, the Sun isn't hitting US - and we feel a little cooler from the lack of the Sun warming us.

Can water be evaporated during an eclipse?

Yes, water can still evaporate during an eclipse. An eclipse does not affect the basic physical process of water evaporation, which is driven by heat from the sun. However, the air temperature may drop slightly during a solar eclipse, potentially affecting the rate of evaporation.


Why an lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is between the sun and moon?

A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The next total lunar eclipse occurs on December 21, 2010.
