Can everyone see the solar eclipse?
Definitely not! Two people standing right next to each other will generally have the same view, but if two people are a mile apart, its' possible that one will experience a total solar eclipse while the other will see only a partial eclipse. For people who are right on the edge of the path of totality, it's possible to do an interesting experiment; line up a set of telescopes every 10 yards or so, connected to photosensors and highly accurate clocks. Measure the precise time at which the Sun flickers into view through the valleys in the mountains on the Moon, and you can create amazingly accurate elevation maps of the lunar mountains.
How long did the 2007 total solar eclipse in the US last for?

Why does a lunar eclipse occur either two weeks before or two weeks after a total solar eclipse?
== == An eclipse occurs because one heavenly body moves between another body and the Sun. For the Moon to be eclipsed, the Earth must be between the Moon and the Sun. For the Earth to be eclipsed, the Moon must be between the Earth and the Sun. Because the Moon orbits the Earth every four weeks, it will be on the opposite side of its orbit in two weeks. Therefore, a total eclipse of the Sun can be followed in two weeks by a total eclipse of the Moon.
What is the difference of solar eclipse and a lunuar eclipse?
An eclipse is defined as an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another, partially or fully obscuring it from view. An eclipse on Earth occurs when the Sun, the Earth and the moon are all in a line together. The two primary types of eclipses seen from Earth are the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. These two types of eclipses can then be broken down into four different types; a total eclipse, partial eclipse, annular eclipse or hybrid eclipse. The term solar eclipse describes the occurrence of when the moon travels between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from the Earth in the middle of the day, and generally giving the appearance of a ring of light in the darkened sky. During a lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the shadow of the Earth during night time hours, gradually blocking the view of the moon form the Earth. Eclipses have also been known to occur on other planets as well. On Earth, there can be anywhere from four to seven eclipses of varying degrees within any given year.

Is the total solar eclipse occur quite often?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Sometimes there are as little as one; on rare occasions, there can be as many as five, but two is most common. However, in a solar eclipse the shadow of the Moon hits the Earth. There's only a small area of the Earth that's affected by any one eclipse, and you won't see an eclipse if you're not in that small area. So for any particular spot on the Earth, there may be a couple of hundred years between eclipses. Sometimes you can get lucky. There's an area in Missouri which will see two total solar eclipses 7 years apart, in 2017 and 2024.
