Does an eclipse of the sun occur 2-4 times a year?

Answer 1

That depends on how you look at it. In fact the earth orbits the sun and at the same time spins like a top making it LOOK like the sun travels across the sky. in relation to the solar system the sun stands still and the Earth moves.

Answer 2

No, the Sun is on the ecliptic all the time. The ecliptic is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

As the Earth follows its orbital path around the Sun, the Sun passes through the plane of the celestial equator twice each year, at the equinoxes. But the plane of the celestial equator is tilted at 23.5 degrees to the ecliptic.

Answer 3

Yes, the Earth orbits the Sun in 365 1/4 days. Resulting in a leap year every four years.

Answer 4

No, a total solar eclipse typically occurs about once every 18 months somewhere on Earth. Partial solar eclipses can happen more frequently, but not necessarily in the same location.

Answer 5

Yes the earth orbits the sun in 1 year

Answer 6

True
