How long does it take for a full lunar and solar eclipse to occur?

Typically it takes about an hour for the Moon to get into Earth's shadow; an hour to cross it, and an hour to get out. Before and after that, there is also the entry and exit into the partial shadow. This is listed in astronomy books, but it is hardly visible.

∙ 11y agoThe full duration of a total solar eclipse can be upwards of six hours, but the path of totality races across the globe from west to east. If you are standing still, along the centerline of the eclipse path, you will experience a maximum of about 8 minutes of totality.
