When a lunar eclipse is in progress, it's visible from any place on earth where the moon is visible ... nominally half of the earth's surface. There is no month during which a lunar eclipse can't occur, and no place on earth from which a lunar eclipse can't be seen.
The story is completely different regarding SOLAR eclipses. When the sun is in eclipse, the appearance is different depending on the observer's position on earth; in particular, the eclipse appears 'total' from only a small region at any one time.
If the question had specified a 'solar eclipse', then in Antarctica, for example, there is a large part of the continent where the sun never rises in June, so a June solar eclipse could never be observed from there.

How often does a lunar eclipse occur in the us?
On average, a total lunar eclipse can be observed from somewhere on Earth about every 2.5 years. However, the visibility of a lunar eclipse in the US can vary depending on the specific location and timing of the eclipse.
Why does a lunar shadow never cover the earth completely?
A lunar shadow never covers the Earth completely during a lunar eclipse because the moon is much smaller in size compared to the Earth. Since the moon's shadow is cast onto a portion of the Earth, not the entire planet, it cannot cover the entire Earth at once.
What never changes during a Lunar eclipse?
The moon will have a lighted ring around it when it gets directly between the Earth and the sun and can only be seen in a specific region.
How are is the relation between the moon and earth when solar and lunar eclipses occur?
Consider the group of objects comprised of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. -- Solar eclipse . . . . . the Moon is the one in the middle. -- Lunar eclipse. . . . . the Earth is the one in the middle. -- The sun can never be the one in the middle.
What time would you see a lunar eclipse from earth?
Any time during the night. Never during the daytime.
The event where the Sun journeys between the Earth and the Moon is called?
The Sun is NEVER between the Earth and the Moon. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, this is called a Solar Eclipse. When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, this is called a Lunar Eclipse.
How often does a lunar eclipse occur in US?
NEVER
What is the differe nce between and solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth which causes us to see a dark shadow in front of the Sun. A lunar ecplise is when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon. The Earth's shadow causes the moon to look red because of the Sun's color. Keep in mind that you must never look at a solar eclipse directly! Only you can look at a lunar ecplise. Hope this helped!
Why do more people see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclpies?
During any lunar eclipse, everybody who can see the moon in their sky ... meaning everybody on Earth's night-time hemisphere ... can watch it. But during a solar eclipse, the only place where it's total is inside a small circle on the Earth. The circle is never much more that a few hundred miles across, and it moves across the Earth's surface so fast that no single place can ever be inside it for more than about 7 minutes.
How many lunar eclipse is a day?
Lunar eclipses can occur up to three times a year, but there is never more than one lunar eclipse on a single day. This is because a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, which can only occur when the Moon is full. Thus, while multiple lunar eclipses can happen within a year, they are limited to one per day.
What is a lunar eclipse not visibleb everywhere on earth?
Because the moon itself is never visible everywhere on Earth at the same time. When there is an eclipse going on, half of the Earth, and all of the people on that half, are turned away from the moon, and looking the other way.
Which type of eclipse may be visible to all the people on one side of Earth?
A solar eclipse covers a very narrow path on the Earth, so usually not many people get a chance to see one. It doesn't help that the Earth is 75% water, and some solar eclipses never touch land at all. Lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, not on the Earth, so the entire night-side of the Earth can see it. As for how long the eclipse lasts, solar eclipses last longer because the Earth is bigger than the Moon is. However, the path of totality travels quickly over the Earth, and if you're standing on the Earth watching the eclipse, the eclipse will be over - for YOU - quickly, because the Moon's shadow has moved on. If you could be in a supersonic aircraft keeping up with it, you would be able to see that it actually lasts longer, but from one spot on Earth, a solar eclipse comes and goes VERY quickly.
