The moon remains partly visible during a lunar eclipse because light is refracted round the earth by its atmosphere. A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes through earths shadow. A partial eclipse,is when only part of the moon is in earths shadow.Then the moon might look like something took a bite out of it.Unlike a partial eclipse,a total luna eclipse occurs whe the whole moon is in the earths shadow.The moon does not disappear during a lunar eclipse.Earths atmosphere bends and scatters some sunlight,allowing some of the suns rays to reach the moon.Lunar eclipses happen several times a year.

Why do more people see total lunar eclipse than solar eclipse?

It is hard to explain, but in a total lunar eclipse, the earth's shadow covers up the entire lit face of the moon, making it dark. These eclipses can last more than an hour. A large percentage of people on the night side of earth during a lunar eclipse will get to see some part of the eclipse.With a solar eclipse, the moon's full shadow only covers a narrow band of earth's surface because the moon is much smaller than the earth. The 'path of totality' follows a certain course during the eclipse, at any location the eclipse will remain total only for a few minutes at most, and the path only covers a relatively small total area of the earth's surface.


When was the last total solar eclipse in Los Angeles?

There has never been a total solar eclipse in the City of Los Angeles. However, there was a solar eclipse on September 10, 1923 which was visible in Lompoc and San Diego, but the path of totality was about 10 miles offshore at Los Angeles. On May 22, 1724 there was a solar eclipse that covered the area that would later become Los Angeles. However, the early Spanish pueblo that would become Los Angeles was not established until 50 years later.


How does a solar eclipse differ from a normal sun in terms of visibility and impact on Earth?

During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light. This causes a temporary darkening of the sky in the path of the eclipse. In contrast, on a normal day, the sun's light reaches Earth without obstruction. Solar eclipses have a more noticeable impact on Earth's atmosphere and temperature compared to a normal day.
