How is earths rotation related to the visibility of eclipses from different positions on earth?
An eclipse is caused by the moon blocking sunlight from reaching parts of earth. This can only happen when the moon is directly between the earth and sun. As the earth orbits the sun, it's angle of orbit changes throughout the year. This is what causes the seasons to change. It also allows different parts of the world to see an eclipse depending on the season and angle of orbit that the earth happens to be in. Earth's rotation slightly moves the location of an eclipse along as the earth rotates. (parallel to a line of longitude) A lunar eclipse is when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon.
