The NASA Eclipse Web Site has a "Solar Eclipse Explorer" page that will allow you to calculate all the eclipses visible from any location from the year 1500BC to 3000 AD.
It is at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/JLEX/JLEX-index.html.
You will need to select a large city that you are interested in or enter the latitude and longitude of your location.
I see there that Lagos, Nigeria last experienced a total solar eclipse on February 21, 2008 and will next experience a total solar eclipse on December 21, 2010.
About 1-2 times a year. However, each solar eclipse can only be seen in parts of the Earth, so it may take quite a while until a solar eclipse happens precisely where you happen to live - and even longer if you want to wait for a total solar eclipse.
it depends. It can sometimes be a solar eclipse, and other times a lunar eclipse,
2-5 times per year
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. This alignment causes the Moon to temporarily obscure the Sun, leading to a solar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.
a solar eclipse happens about every 6000 days, way more than a year.
This question is quite difficult to explain but it is possible because the moon can some times orbit the earth really quickly. The last solar eclipse happened on August 1999
A total solar eclipse will occur on July 22, 2009. It will be visible from northern India through China and across the Pacific Ocean. The specific time of the the eclipse will vary with your location. See the link below for the NASA Eclipse Web Site, with exact times and coordinates.
On average, total solar eclipses happen around once every 18 months somewhere on Earth. However, a total solar eclipse is only visible from any specific location on Earth about once every 375 years.
about 5 times a year, during the new moons
Well, first you have to jack the car up. Then, it is necessary to use the banana peel I mentioned as a lampshade. Once Eddie Murphy has arrived at your house, kill your family. Then ask the chicken why Tebow refused to eat at Applebee's on the night of Ramadan that fell on June 37th, -513 G.Q. Then, you must travel to the dungeon of mesmerized pubic hair. After you have spoken to Emperor Glassbeard, look out! Lastly, crawl back to your house, fight off the horde of inconsistent ball sacks, attend a grammar class, sit on your front porch between the hours of 6 and 11pm, and look up.
Solar eclipses can occur in Ghana in any given year, as they are a natural astronomical phenomenon. The occurrence of a solar eclipse depends on the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, and can happen at different times throughout the year. It is important to refer to specific astronomical predictions and schedules to determine when a solar eclipse will be visible from Ghana in a particular year.
