you can be in either hemispgere, all that has to occur is that the moon comes between earth and the sun at your location, for you to be able to see it.
Both happen with roughly the same frequency, but one is more likely to see a lunar eclipse because it can be seen by anyone on the entire night side hemisphere of the earthwhile it is happening, while a solar eclipse can only be seen by those people within the small circle of the moon's shadow on the surface of the earth on the day side hemisphere of the earthwhile it is happening everyone outside this circle cannot see the solar eclipse.
Yes, did you travel to see the solar eclipse in 2017?
To see a total solar eclipse, yes. However, you need only be in the penumbra to see a partial eclipse.
The next time you will see a solar eclipse is in 2018.
The importance of Solar Eclipse: AT full eclipse you can see the curvature of the universe.
People who are in the path of the eclipse.
Definitely not!! When we see a solar eclipse, the sun hasn't changed in any way. The dark shadow we see moving over the sun is the moon passing between the earth and the sun. Since the moon is 1/6 the size of the earth and the sun is 100 times larger than the earth there is no way to completely block the suns light from reaching the earth via the moon. Due to this size difference, in different parts of the world, we would see different things during a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse of the northern hemisphere would be but a partial if not a non existent eclipse in parts of the southern hemisphere.
there will be a solar eclipse on August 1,2008 but, you cant look at it with out special equipment.
