Best Answer

Anyone on the correct side of the Earth can see a lunar eclipse as long as they are where the sky is clear, they don't fall asleep, they are not blind, they look in the right direction, and there are no mountains, trees, buildings or other stuff blocking the view.

If you can watch the eclipse, it will always be night at the time you watch it. This is because the Sun will always be precisely opposite to the Moon during a lunar eclipse - otherwise there would be no eclipse. And because the Moon has to be above the horizon to be watched, the Sun will have to be below the horizon.

In other words: If it is night where you are at the time of a lunar eclipse, you will be able to see it (given the reservations above). And if it is day where you are during a lunar eclipse, you won't be able to see it (this is not because the Sun is too bright, but because the Moon is below the horizon).

In a lunar eclipse, it's the moon that becomes dark. So anyone on the night side

of the earth ... with the full moon in his sky ... can see it happen. That means every

zone on earth where the time is anything between sunset and sunrise at the time

of the eclipse ... nominally half of the earth's surface.

Everybody on the night side of the Earth at the time. Everybody who is in "night"

at the time of the eclipse. Everybody who can see the moon in the sky at the time.

Anyone who is in the right place at the right time. You need special glasses to look at the sun until the moon is completely covering it though.

Why people observe a total lunar eclipse rather than a total solar eclipse?

If there is a total lunar eclipse, everybody sees it as total. If there is a total solar eclipse, only people in a small part of Earth see it as total - most will see it as a partial eclipse, or not at all.

No, they see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.


Why do more people see a lunar eclipse?

I believe it is because of the technology we have this day and age. It's because a lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, while a solar eclipse only occurs along a relatively narrow track on the Earth's surface. The Moon is too small to eclipse the whole Earth all at once, so although there are as many solar eclipses as lunar, fewer people get to see each one.


Why do more people see a total lunar eclipse then a tootle solar eclipse?

More people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse because to see the complete solar eclipse you must be in a locations directly underneath it so your point of view and angle of the moon is correct. It doesn't matter as much as to where you are for a lunar eclipse...

They are about equal in number. The difference is in how many people SEE the eclipse. During a solar eclipse, only people along the path of totality can see the eclipse, and that's a pretty narrow track. For a lunar eclipse, everybody on the night side of the Earth can see it.


Why is a lunar eclipse easer to spot?
