There are two types of eclipses, solar and lunar. In a solar eclipse (which happens rarely) the moon blocks out the light from the sun. In a lunar eclipse (which happens more often) the sunlight filters through the earths atmosphere and the moon looks orange.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
On average, we can expect two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in any year. 2010 will have four eclipses, right on the average.
The answer very much depends on the year. One calendar year has a minimum of four eclipses, which are two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. A year can have as many as seven eclipses. So each year is different.
Solar eclipses are more common than lunar eclipses.
Solar and lunar eclipses
Eclipses were not discovered. They are a natural occurring event.
Canon of Eclipses was created in 1887.
There are generally two lunar eclipses per year. Sometimes the eclipses are only visible in other places on the Earth, and the "penumbral" eclipses generally aren't noticable.
Yes, these are called partial eclipses.
Creative Eclipses was created in 1998-11.
yes they do
