What eclipses will there be when will they be and where will they be seen in 2009?
On Jan 26, 2009 there will be an Annular Solar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in South Africa, Antarctica, South East Asia, and Australia. On Feb 9, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in East Europe, Pacific Ocean, and the Americas. On Jul 7, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in Australia, Pacific Ocean, and the Americas. On Jul 22, 2009 there will be a Total Solar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in East Asia, Pacific Ocean, and Hawaii. On Aug 6, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in West Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. On Dec 31, 2009 there will be a Partial Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in Africa, Australia, Europe, and Asia. I give most the credit to nasa.gov. My information was from that website.
What else can I help you with?
Which eclipse can be seen by more people on earth?
Total solar eclipses can be seen by fewer people because the path of totality is quite narrow, typically only covering a few hundred miles wide. In contrast, lunar eclipses can be observed by anyone on the nighttime side of the Earth, making them visible to a much larger audience. Consequently, lunar eclipses are seen by more people overall compared to total solar eclipses.
Lunar eclipses are seen by everybody on earths what?
Sooner or later, a lunar eclipse is seen by everybody on earth's "surface".
How many total eclipse were there in 2009?
About two per year, since the Moon formed. So, around 4000 solar eclipses (and 4000 lunar eclipses) since the year 1. You can check the list of all eclipses since the year 2000 BC on the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.
Why is lunar eclipse seen more frequently?
Lunar eclipses and solar eclipses happen EQUALLY often; about two of each kind per year. However, solar eclipses are visible only across a small path on the Earth, while lunar eclipses are visible from the entire nighttime hemisphere of the planet.
When do you experience a partial eclipse and a total eclipse?
You need to look up the dates of the next eclipses in your location and then be ready to look out for them. Eclipses of the moon are more frequent at any one place, because every eclipse is seen from the whole dark hemisphere of the Earth. Solar eclipses on the other hand are seen from a much smaller area because the Moon is much smaller than the Earth.
How many lunar eclipses can someone see in a lifetime?
On average, a person can expect to see about 230 lunar eclipses in a lifetime. Lunar eclipses occur a couple of times per year, but visibility depends on the individual's location and weather conditions.
Can 2011 's solar eclipse be seen from India?
There are normally two solar eclipses each year. However, due to a curious alignment of the Earth, Moon and Sun, there will not be ANY solar eclipses in 2011!
Why lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses and why so few people get the chance to view a total solar eclipse?
Actually solar eclipses are slightly more common, but a solar eclipse, and especially the total phase, can only be seen in a relatively narrow strip of Earth.
Does a lunar eclipse happen more often than a solar eclipse?
Globally, solar eclipses are slightly more frequent. But a lunar eclipse can be seen from any place where the Moon is above the horizon, whereas a solar eclipse can only be seen from a narrow strip of land. So, for any particular fixed observer, solar eclipses - and especially total solar eclipses - are quite rare. During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones. So over the long term, you can figure on equal numbers, at the rate of around 7 of each every 3 years.
Can other planets have eclipses?
Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis. These can be seen from Earth; the moons' shadows are seen moving over Jupiter's surface. Well, Jupiter's visible part at any rate - it doesn't have a surface like Earth.Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis.

What are the kinds of eclipses?
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
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.
