The Sun's "corona".
Only within the moon's umbra.
We see solar eclipses only during New Moon, but not every New Moon is accompanied by a solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
If you are in the path of totality, a solar eclipse is more obvious; it gets dark in the middle of the day. But a total solar eclipse affects only a thin track across the Earth. A lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night side of the Earth, potentially half or more of all humanity. But it happens at night, and isn't as obvious.
New Moon
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.
A solar eclipse happens only at New Moon. A lunar eclipse happens only at Full Moon.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon ... if it occurs at all.
Yes, but only during a total solar eclipse as it gets dark enough to trick birds into thinking night has fallen.
It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
A solar eclipse only can occur at the time of the New Moon,but doesn't occur at the large majority of them.
Its fine it is only a shadow.
