About one or two solar eclipses per year, and one or two lunar (Moon) eclipses per year, on average. Go to NASA.com and search it. there will be a map with the spots of eclipses and time/year.
The moon covers the sun.
every so often
Solar eclipses are caused by the Moon covering the Sun. This can happen at new moon. Lunar eclipses are caused when the Moon gets into Earth's shadow. This can happen at full moon.
The two most important types of eclipses are:* Solar eclipses. They happen when the Moon covers the Sun, blocking the sunlight. * Lunar eclipses. They happen when the Moon gets into Earth's shadow.
Solar eclipses happen during a new moon, which is the first phase of the moon. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, which causes the moon to occult the Sun.
I can tell you about the lunar eclipse. It is a colliding the moon with sun
Eclipses happen at the new moon (solar eclipses) or at the full moon (lunar eclipses). These are times of the higher-than-average "spring" tides.
No. For one thing, the moon revolves around, earth, not the sun.
When the moon is very nearly on-line between the centers of the Sun and Earth. (That will also be the time of 'New Moon'.)
This is not always true, as eclipses sometimes happen, and in fact the sun and moon are only rarely on opposite sides of the earth.
When the Earth is in the middle of the moon and the sun, lunar eclipses happen. It is because the Earth's shadow covers the moon.
for a solar eclipse the moon has to align with the sun and earth. with a lunar eclipse the earth and moon switch spots
