When the moon blocks out the sun what is it called?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sun's light from reaching Earth. This phenomenon can result in either a total solar eclipse, where the sun is completely obscured, or a partial solar eclipse, where only part of the sun is covered.
Why do people see a total solar eclipse more often than a total lunar eclipse?
It's the other way around; more people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse. The reason is that a lunar eclipse happens on the Moon; it is visible from half of the Earth's surface. A solar eclipse occurs along a narrow track across the Earth, and 75% of the Earth's surface is oceans.
