First of all the solar eclipse happens for everyone not in a specific spot. Only thing that changes is the time of the eclipse for different regions of the world. Second of all, according to my calculations and NASA of course the next solar eclipse is: Wednesday, 2009 July 22.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How does a total eclipse form?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. Total solar eclipses can only occur at some New Moon's but they don't occur every New Moon because the Moon's orbit is inclined 6o to the Earth's orbital plane.
How often does a total solar eclipse occur?
A total solar eclipse occurs approximately once every 18 months somewhere on Earth. However, any specific location will only experience a total solar eclipse every few centuries.
Why does a total solar solar eclipse or total lunar eclipse does not occur at least once a month?
A solar eclipse doesn't occur every 28 days because the moon's orbit is tilted compared to the earths.
What Can only occur when the moon is new and has angular size larger than the sun in the sky?
A total solar eclipse can only occur when the moon is new and its angular size appears larger than the sun in the sky. During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth.
What is the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse in points?
Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon. Solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon phase, while lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon phase. Solar eclipse can be total, partial, or annular depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. Lunar eclipse can be total or partial depending on how much of the moon is covered by Earth's shadow.
What occurs more often- a partial solar eclipse or total solar eclipse?
Partial 35.3%Annular 33.2%Total 26.7%Hybrid 4.8% As you can see from the table above, partial eclipses are most common, followed by annular eclipses. Total solar eclipses are barely more than one-quarter of the total. Total eclipses occur when the Moon is close enough to the Earth for the umbra, the cone of total shadow, to hit the Earth. Annular eclipses occur when the Moon is so far away that the umbra does not reach all the way to the Earth. "Hybrid" eclipses occur when the Moon crosses the dividing line between total and annular DURING the eclipse, so that the eclipse begins as annular and changes to total, or vice versa, during the eclipse.
Will an eclipses occur when the moon is in between the sun and the earth?
yes, a solar eclipse. depending on how high or low or far or close the moon is, it could be an annular solar eclipse, partial, or total
Differentiate partial solar eclipse from total solar eclipse?
It is as your question states, partial solar eclipse - the moon only blocks the sun off from earth partially. Total solar eclipse - the moon completely blocks the sun off from earth.
Is the sun covered completely by the moon?
Yes. That would occur when the eclipse occurs while the moon is near perigee. Closer to apogee the eclipse is not total, it is annular.
What is the type of eclipse is there when the moon is between the sun and earth?
Solar eclipse
When will the next solar eclise happen?
There is a partial solar eclipse that will occur 1 June 2011 over North America and Greenland.
