What else can I help you with?
What type of eclipse occurs with the greatest frequency?
Lunar eclipses occur more frequently than Solar eclipses. About 70 eclipses take place in regular cycles lasting 18 years and 8 or 9 days; usually 41 of these eclipses are solar and 29 are lunar.
How long have eclipses been happening?
We don't know. Whenever they started, there were no people here yet to mark it down.
When do solar eclipses take place?
A solar eclipse can only happen at new moon - but they don't happen at every new moon.
Why are total solar eclipses rare?
because the only happen in a certain place
How long does it take for Charon to make a eclipses?
it takes 900 years
What conditions will an eclipse take place?
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light, while a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Both types of eclipses can only take place during specific alignments of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, which typically happen during a new moon (for solar eclipses) or a full moon (for lunar eclipses). Additionally, the alignment must be precise, as eclipses do not occur every month due to the tilt of the Moon's orbit.
What are the kinds of eclipses?
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
Lunar eclipse can take place only when the moon is full?
As far as I know, there are full and partial eclipses of the full moon and every other moon phase. It all depends on position and timing of the moon and the planet or star that eclipses it. Full or partial eclpise can only occur at Full Moon.
Does the place to see a solar eclipses change?
yes it isnt just in one place. It happens all over the world but at different times. :)
Why do eclipses take place rarely?
An eclipse is when the Earth passes between the moon and sun (lunar eclipse) or when the moon passes between the Earth and sun (solar eclipse). They take part rarely because of the tiny probability of the moon and Earth aligning as such.
How many eclipses in 2010?
On average, we can expect two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in any year. 2010 will have four eclipses, right on the average.
How can you predict the date of a solar eclipse without observing where the moon is?
We know precisely where the Earth is, and where the Moon is, and where each are moving. So it's fairly straightforward to calculate their motions into the future and determine precisely, down to the second, when and where eclipses will take place. The NASA Eclipse web page has a catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD.
