A solar eclipse is caused by the moon blocking the sun's light and thus casting a shadow. The moon is orbiting Earth and thus moving relative to it. As the moon moves, so does its shadow.

Why is a Solar Eclipse So Dangerous?
If you are referring to you eyes, no, definitely not. A SOLAR eclipse is what is dangerous to look at, because the moon is in front of the sun. In a lunar eclipse the sun is in front of the moon. The logic might seem kinda backwards, but it all adds up to the single word that NO, lunar eclipses ARE NOT DANGEROUS.
Why air pollutants produced by forest fires in another country can travel all the way to Singapore?
The air pollutants rise high in the atmosphere where the winds are very active. These high-speed winds in the upper atmosphere is what allows pollutants to travel and spread our through out the world. Even though the winds at ground level seem still, high in the atmosphere they're vigorous and aggressive.
Do partial lunar eclipse occur more often than total eclipse?
Total solar eclipses are much less frequent because it is much more likely that part of a planet/moon/satellite gets partly in our way of the sun than a planet/moon/satellite gets 100% in our way.
Where can a solar eclipse be seen from?
A total solar eclipse is visible from many places the best include places that are higher than others so that you can look more directly at it note that it is horrible for your eyes to look directly at a solar eclipse so try not to look directly at it!
When can you see a total solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse happens at New Moon when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. The Moon is not big enough to eclipse the whole of the Earth so the eclipse is seen only over a strip of the Earth's surface. The Moon's orbit is inclined to that of the Earth, and usually at New Moon the Moon passes above or below the Sun as seen from the Earth. When the Moon is at a node, that means that it is crossing the plane of the Earth's orbit, an eclipse can occur if that coincides with New Moon, because then all three are all in a line. The same applied to lunar eclipses at Full Moon, except that a lunar eclipse can be seen from the whole dark side of the Earth. This makes lunar eclipses seem more frequent. A solar eclipse on the Earth, seen from the Moon, looks like a circular area of shadow on the Earth's surface with a tiny black dot at the centre, which is the point of total eclipse, a moving circle of about 20-40 miles across. Anyone in that dot is seeing a total eclipse.
Why does the eclipse seem to to travel from one place to another?
A solar eclipse is caused by the moon blocking the sun's light and thus casting a shadow. The moon is orbiting Earth and thus moving relative to it. As the moon moves, so does its shadow.
