What else can I help you with?
Which layer of the sun can only be seen during an eclipse?
I guess you mean only during a total eclipse of the Sun. At that time we can see the chromosphere and the corona. The outermost layer is the corona.
Is the sun's corona able to be seen from earth?
Only during a total eclipse for approximately 2 minutes. You must be in the path of totality
Which type of eclipse is seen frequently?
A partial lunar eclipse is the most common type of eclipse seen as it occurs more frequently than total lunar eclipses. During a partial lunar eclipse, only a portion of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow, creating a shaded effect.
What is a different about a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.
Can an eclipse of the sun be seen by everyone on the day side of earth?
No. A total solar eclipse can only be seen in a relatively small area. A partial eclipse may be seen in a much larger but still limited area.
Which layers of the sun are only seen during a solar eclipse?
Usually, we cannot see the corona because of the brightness of the photosphere. However, during a total solar eclipse, the corona shines beautifully against the dark sky. During a partial or an annular eclipse, a ring of the photosphere is visible around the Moon and the corona is not visible.
Why have more people seen a total lunar eclipse than have seen a total solar eclipse?
Because a total lunar is seen from half the Earth simultaneously. A total solar is only seen along a strip of the Earth's surface that is less than 50 miles wide, which contains fewer people.
When can the chromosphere be seen?
The chromosphere can be seen during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely covers the sun, revealing the sun's outer layers. Outside of an eclipse, it is not typically visible due to the brightness of the sun's photosphere overwhelming it.
Is the sun covered completely by the moon?
Yes. That would occur when the eclipse occurs while the moon is near perigee. Closer to apogee the eclipse is not total, it is annular.
The light you see around the sun during a total eclipse?
The light seen around the sun during a total solar eclipse is the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The corona appears as a shimmering ring of light due to the sun's intense heat and magnetic fields. This phenomenon is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely covers the sun, revealing the sun's outer atmosphere.
What is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse?
During a solar eclipse, the only part of the Sun that can be seen is its outer atmosphere, known as the corona. This is because the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright surface, allowing the fainter corona to be visible.
Which layers of the sun can be seen during a solar eclipse?
The corona of the Sun can only be seen with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse. However, with a special telescope called a coronagraph, you can view the solar corona at any time.During a solar eclipse, you can see the corona as a bright ring. But compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is invisibly dim. That's why you can only see it when the Sun itself is hidden behind the Moon.
