What else can I help you with?
What causes eclipse and why?
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.
Which moon phase do solar eclipses happen?
Solar eclipses can only occur at the new moon, while all lunar eclipses happen at the full moon.
What is the moon during a solar eclipe?
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.
Does the annular eclipse happen every year?
No, annular eclipses do not happen every year. They occur when the Moon is farthest from Earth, making it appear smaller and not fully cover the Sun during the eclipse. This alignment is not a regular occurrence, so annular eclipses happen less frequently than total solar eclipses.
Do solar eclipses happen every time the moon travels around the earth?
No, solar eclipses can be years apart.
What would happen if eclipses happen every month?
The moon phases would change.
Would lunar eclipses happen if earth were larger?
yes
Do planets with moons have eclipses as often as earth?
Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.
When was the first eclipse happen and in which country?
Pressumably, eclipses have been happening for millions of years.Pressumably, eclipses have been happening for millions of years.Pressumably, eclipses have been happening for millions of years.Pressumably, eclipses have been happening for millions of years.
Where did the first solar eclipse occur?
Solar eclipses are caused by the shadow of the Moon hitting the Earth. Solar eclipses happen on the Earth.
How often do eclipses happen in Moon and Sun?
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.
Why and when do the lunar and solar eclipses occur?
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.
