Five is the theoretical maximum number of solar eclipses in one calendar year; generally 4 partial eclipses and one total or annular eclipse. This configuration happens about every 200 years or so.
Interestingly, there will be four solar eclipses in 2011; all will be partial eclipses, visible (if at all) only from polar regions.
The last time there were five solar eclipses in a year was in 1935; the next time will be in 2206.

What is the maximum number of eclipses that can occur each month?
Frequency of a Full MoonOnce every month.roughly. it actuly takes 27 days for the moon to travel around the earth but because the moon is traveling around the sun the moon has to catch up. so there is a full moon aproximatly 12.37 times a year. One every 29.531 days.
How often do solar eclipse happen?
The maximum number of lunar eclipses that can occur per year is 3 (minimum 0), and the maximum number of solar eclipses is 5 (minimum 2). However, these numbers are very rare. On the average over the long term, there are roughly 2.3 lunar and 2.3 solar per year ... partial or total lunar, and partial, annular, or total solar. However, it should be noted that because during a solar eclipse the Moon's shadow does not cover the entire surface of the Earth (because the Moon is smaller than the Earth) not everyone on Earth will see the solar eclipse as it occurs. Instead, only those living along the path of the Moon's shadow (called the path of totality) will see it. On the other hand, everyone will be able to see a lunar eclipse. Thus, it is far more common for people to see a lunar eclipse at any given location than a solar eclipse. Put another way, the average time between two solar eclipses seen from the same location is about 360 years while the average time between two lunar eclipses seen from the same location is between 6 and 12 months. Twice a year, there is a roughly 38 day window of time during which an eclipse could occur. These windows do not occur at the same time every year, so the term "season" does not refer to a particular time during the calendar year (Spring, Summer, etc.). The two eclipse seasons are separated by just under 6 months. Thus, the complete eclipse cycle lasts for roughly 345 days while the calendar year lasts for 365 days, so the eclipse seasons shift earlier and earlier each year - realigning again every 19 years. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, which can only occur when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun - which would normally be when we would see a Full Moon. Therefore, lunar eclipses can only occur during a Full Moon. Similarly, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun casting its shadow upon the surface of the Earth. This can only occur when the Moon is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun - which would normally be when there is a New Moon. The reason we don't normally get eclipses during Full and New Moons is because the Moon's orbit is tilted with respect to the Earth's orbit. During a Full Moon, the tilted path of the Moon usually takes it above or below the Earth's shadow and thus we get no lunar eclipse and just a normal Full Moon. During a New Moon, the tilted path of the Moon usually makes it such that the shadow of the Moon is cast above or below the surface of the Earth and thus we get no solar eclipse and just a normal New Moon. However, during the two eclipse seasons the Moon's orbit is titled in such a way that it passes through the Earth's shadow and directly across the line of sight between the Earth and the Sun. If the Moon passes into a Full or New phase during this time an eclipse will occur. If a lunar and solar eclipse occur during the same season, they will be separated by about two weeks (the time it takes for the Moon to move from the opposite side of the Earth to the same side of the Earth as the Sun).
What is Max Planck's number?
6.626 x 10-34 Joule seconds.
What is the max number of electrons an orbital may contain?
Just two, with opposite spin.
What represents the electronic structure of an element?
Electronic structure is how many electrons each shell of an atom can hold. It is written by the number of electrons in the 1st shell (max 2) then a commer, the number of electrons in the 2nd shell (max 8) another commer, how many are in the 3rd shell (max 8) etc. example: 2,8,8
What is a solar max?
Solar max (aka solar maximum) refers to period of greatest activity during the solar cycle of the Sun.

How often are lunar eclipse?
iheard 2x a year but for 2010 it only happened tonight 12-21-2010 ______________________________ There are a minimum of two and a max of five lunar (or solar) eclipses in a calendar year. About 25% are total, 25% are partial, and the remainder are penumbral. Most commonly you will see one total lunar eclipse per year and one partial eclipse that year. Occasionally, you will have one total or partial and two penumbral.
Will you be able to see the lunar eclipse on the 23?
No. Lunar eclipses last for about 5 hours, max. It happened on the 21st, so if you missed it, you missed it. A number of web sites have photos, however, so you can still see what it was.

What is the definition of sunspot maximum?
The number of sunspots on the Sun seems to fluctuate in an 11-year cycle. When the sunspot cycle is at its maximum, the Sun is typically covered with sunspots. The last "Solar Max" occurred in 2002.We are currently at the "Solar Minimum"; there are very few sunspots. Strangely, the cycle was expected to start rising a year ago, but the Sun seems to be in an extended calm period. In fact, for over 200 days so far this year, there have been no sunspots at all!You can keep track of the sunspot number and see daily photos of the Sun at spaceweather.com.
