What would you see during solar eclipse if the moon was bigger than it was now?

Then the total phase of the eclipse would last longer. Also, it is more likely that there is a total phase at all.

Does solar power work during an eclipse?
It would during a solar eclipse, but probably not during a lunar eclipse.
What would happen to the temperature of the air during a solar eclipse?
Because the sun's light and heat is blocked during a solar eclipse, the air gets cooler.
What would a person in the moon see when there is an eclipse of the moon?
During a lunar eclipse, a resident of the Moon would experience a solar eclipse; the Sun would be hidden behind the Earth.
What does an astronaut facing the earth during a lunar eclipse what does he will observe?
An astronaut on the Moon - or any of the Moon residents, starting about 30 years from now - would see a solar eclipse where we here on Earth see a lunar eclipse.
Why would it be difficult to see prominences if you were on the moon during a total lunar eclipse?
Because the Earth's shadow is much bigger than the solar disc appears, so the entire sun is blocked out, while on the Earth viewing a Solar Eclipse, the moon's disc is approximately the same size as the sun's.
How would the moon and earth be during a solar and lunar eclipse?
In a complete line with the sun.
What would you see if you were on the moon during a lunar eclipse?
From the perspective of a lunar observer, it would be a solar eclipse; the Earth would pass between the Sun and the Moon.
Which is the slowest a solar or lunar eclipse?
Both result in the moon's orbit around the earth. In a lunar eclipse the moon is on the far side of the earth from the bright sun, and earth's shadow passes across its surface. Earth is larger than the moon, and casts a bigger shadow on it than the moon would cast on the earth during a solar eclipse. Therefore I would have to argue that the lunar eclipse should take longer, or be slower to complete.
Who would be able to see the solar eclipse?
People who are in the path of the eclipse.
What phase of the moon is it possible to see a solar eclipse from the earthif the moon happens to be crossing the plane of the earth's orbit at that time?
The Moon phase during a solar eclipse would be a New Moon.
What phase does a solar eclipse occur during?
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.
What kind of eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sunlight from earth?
The moon is never "blocked out". It's not even clear what that might look like, or what it means. -- During a solar eclipse, the moon gets in the way, so that you can't see the sun for a few minutes. -- During a lunar eclipse, the Earth gets in the way, so that the sun can't shine on the moon and light it up for a few hours.
