No. The amount of the Moon visible from the Earth varies, depending on the phase of the Moon.

At Full Moon, you see nearly all of the Moon's illuminated side. At New Moon, you see nearly

none of it. At Quarter Moon, you see about half of it.

Do solar eclipses happen every time the moon travels around the earth?

No, solar eclipses can be years apart.


Do eclipses occur monthly?

Eclipses of Jupiter's moons occur daily. But if you mean the regular solar and lunar eclipses, no, most of the time the Moon will pass by one of the sides of the position required for the eclipse, so there is no eclipse. That is because the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and the Moon's orbit around the Earth, are not exactly in the same plane.Eclipses of Jupiter's moons occur daily.

Why are eclipses relatively are events?

because it requires the Earth the Sun and the Moon to all line up just right and at the same time and that is a rare thing


in solar eclipses When is the only time a solar eclipses can happen?

When the moon is very nearly on-line between the centers of the Sun and Earth. (That will also be the time of 'New Moon'.)


How can eclipses occur?

When the moon and sun appear in the same spot in the sky at the same time


When will eclipses come out to theaters?

probably the same time all the others came out


Will all people on earth pass out on the same time?

No.


Why solar eclipse does not occur every time the moon revolves around earth?

The Earth orbits the Sun in a plane that we call the "ecliptic". If the Moon orbited the Earth in that same plane, we would experience eclipses every month. But the plane of the Moon's orbit is about 5 degrees tilted from the ecliptic, and so we only see eclipses at the "nodes" when the Moon's orbital plane crosses the ecliptic at the new or full moons.


When is the next time a meteor shower and a solar eclipse happen at the same time?

Meteor showers and solar eclipses are independent celestial events that occur separately. It is highly unlikely for them to occur simultaneously, as they involve different astronomical phenomena: meteor showers are caused by Earth passing through the debris trail of a comet, while solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. So, it is possible for them to happen close together in time, but not at the exact same time.


Is there any place in the world that has not had an eclipse?

No. Lunar eclipses affect the entire night half of the Earth, and happen every year or so. Solar eclipses cover only a tiny swath of the Earth's surface, but given enough time, every point on Earth would be affected.


Why isn't there a lunar eclipse every time we have a full moon?

The orbit of the Moon is not in the same plane as the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. So the Moon is only seldom lined up directly behind the Earth from the Sun. However, because of the larger size of the Earth, lunar eclipses are more frequent than solar eclipses, occurring at least twice a year (either total or partial).


Who can see lunar eclipses?

it depends with side of the earth the lunar eclipse is on at the time if it was on the northern side of the earth the southern side would be the ones to see it
