Does the solar eclipse happen during night?

A solar eclipse can happen only in places that are in daylight. While those places are in daylight, there are, of course, other parts of the earth where it is night. So a solar eclipse can happen when some parts of the earth are at night, but it can happen only where it is daylight.

When the moon comes between the earth and the sun and partly hides the sun from us for a time?

What is a different about a lunar eclipse and 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.

Why can some areas on earth see the solar eclipe and not others?

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth, and casts a shadow on the earth. The moon is small compared to the earth and the sun, so the shadow does not cover all of the earth.


Does the shadow of the sun falls on the earth during a solar elicps?

Yes, during a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth. This occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light in certain areas. Depending on the alignment, observers in the path of totality can experience a total solar eclipse, where the Sun is completely obscured, while those outside this path may see a partial eclipse.
