A solar eclipse happens when the moon orbits in front of the sun, Also on earth one half would be day and the other would be night. so the night half of earth wouldn't be able to see it because the suns not out at night
Because the Moon is much smaller than the Earth, the region where the solar eclipse can be seen - and especially the region where it is seen as a total eclipse, if it happens to be a total eclipse - is quite narrow.

Because the moon's orbit is elliptical, or oval, instead of circular, the distance between Earth and the moon changes. When the moon is too close to Earth in its orbit, the moon appears to be exactly the same size as the sun.

When the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, only the people on the side of the Earth that is facing the Sun can see it.
This is because the Moon is quite a bit smaller than Earth.
If the eclipse is visible from the place where you're born, then it means that you're born during the night. If the eclipse is not visible from the place where you're born, then it means nothing at all.
When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth. In order to see it, you must stand: -- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible, -- outdoors -- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset
The last total lunar eclipse visible from England occurred on May 26, 2021. The next partial lunar eclipse visible from England will take place on November 19, 2021.
A solar eclipse happens during the day because it occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting its shadow on Earth's surface. The Moon blocks the sunlight, causing a temporary darkness on Earth known as the eclipse. However, not everyone on Earth experiences a solar eclipse during the day as the eclipse's visibility depends on the viewer's location.
Solar eclipse
No single eclipse ... solar or lunar ... is ever visible from every place on earth.No single solar eclipse is ever visible from every place or even half of the earth.
If the eclipse is visible from the place where you're born, then it means that you're born during the night. If the eclipse is not visible from the place where you're born, then it means nothing at all.
No. during the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones ... an average of about 2.3 of each every year. If you stay in one place, though, you see lunar eclipses more frequently. That's because a solar eclipse is visible from only a small area on earth, whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from wherever the moon is visible ... the entire night-time half of the earth.
Approximately once every 18 months (on average) a total solar eclipse is visible from some place on the Earth's surface. That's two totalities for every three years.
A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the moon passes through the earth's shadow. The phenomenon is visible from any place on earth where the sun is down and the sky is clear at the time.
It's not. During the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipsesand 229 lunar ones ... an average of about 2.3 of each every year.If you stay in one place, though, you see lunar eclipses more frequently. That'sbecause a solar eclipse, when it happens, is visible from only a small area on earth,whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night-time half of the earth.
When a lunar eclipse is in progress, it's visible from any place on earth where the moon is visible ... nominally half of the earth's surface. There is no month during which a lunar eclipse can't occur, and no place on earth from which a lunar eclipse can't be seen.The story is completely different regarding SOLAR eclipses. When the sun is in eclipse, the appearance is different depending on the observer's position on earth; in particular, the eclipse appears 'total' from only a small region at any one time.If the question had specified a 'solar eclipse', then in Antarctica, for example, there is a large part of the continent where the sun never rises in June, so a June solar eclipse could never be observed from there.
When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth. In order to see it, you must stand: -- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible, -- outdoors -- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset
Any place on earth where the moon is visible during the time that there is one in progress.
Every nation on the world sees a lunar eclipse on an average of every two or three years. The next total lunar eclipse will be on December 21, 2010 and will be visible from any place in North America. (Weather permitting, of course!)
From any place on earth, at least part of Orion is visible at some time on every clear night of the year.
Every Lunar Eclipse comes from the same place, when the sun, moon, and earth are lined up in a straight line. So the first Lunar Eclipse is no different from the others.
