Any planet with moons could potentially experience an eclipse. Transits are what happens when other planets (Mercury & Venus) pass between earth and sun. Neither of these have moons.
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all have moons. Pluto's moon (Charon) is big and close to it--it may (depending on its orbit) occult the sun frequently.
Jupiter usually has some lunar shadow dotting its sunside surface. Only earth and Pluto have moons big enough to produce total eclipses. (Not sure about dwarf planets beyond Pluto--some of which also have moons).
Mars has two tiny moons.
What else can I help you with?
Which planets could experience eclipses of the sun?
Planets that have moons and are positioned in such a way that their moons can pass between them and the sun can experience eclipses. This includes planets like Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
How did babylonians predict eclipses?
Babylonians predicted eclipses based on their observations of celestial events and their mathematical calculations. They used records of previous eclipses to identify patterns and develop predictive models. Babylonian astronomers tracked the movements of the sun, moon, and planets to anticipate when eclipses would occur.
Does Mars have a sun?
No, it does not. The earth has a moon, and Mars does not. It is earth's moon, earth and the sun that are involved in eclipses. All of them. Without a moon, Mars cannot experience an eclipse.
What happens when the planets are to close to the sun?
When planets are too close to the sun, they experience extreme temperatures, which can lead to their surfaces getting too hot to support life. The intense heat can also cause atmospheres to evaporate and planets to lose their gaseous components. Additionally, gravitational forces from the sun can disrupt the orbits of planets and potentially even pull them into the sun.
What is the planet on which the sun does not rise and set?
All planets that rotate in our solar system will see apparent sun rise and sun set There are no planets that are stationary not to view the apparent sun rise and sun set.
What planets can experience eclipses of the sun?
mercury& venus
Name the planets that could experience eclipses of the sun?
Mercury AND Venus :]
Which planets doesnt have lunar and solar eclipse?
Uranus and Venus do not experience lunar or solar eclipses. Due to their unique orbital characteristics and the angles of their orbits relative to the Sun, conditions for eclipses are not possible on these planets.
Why can Mercury and venus experience eclipses of the sun?
Actually they can't.

How would you describe the organization of the solar system?
concentric eclipses of very little eccentricity centered about the sun. Most planets within 5' of the ecliptic.
Why there is no total eclipse of sun?
Eclipses are shadows; the Sun is so bright that it CAUSES shadows, it doesn't EXPERIENCE them.
Why dos Jupiter and Saturn have no eclipses?
In order to have a solar eclipse, the moon needs to have the same angular size as the Sun. Non of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons have that characteristic. They do however have lunar eclipses, when their moons enter the planets' shadows.
How many planets is it away from the sun?
Jupiter would be.....5 planets from the sun. =]
What planets could experience a solar eclipse?
the sun and Pluto
Does Mars have a sun?
No, it does not. The earth has a moon, and Mars does not. It is earth's moon, earth and the sun that are involved in eclipses. All of them. Without a moon, Mars cannot experience an eclipse.
