When is the eclipse movie premiere in London?

There was a partial solar eclipse on 2008-Aug-01, but you probably didn't notice. The last total solar eclipse was 1715-May-03. King George I probably enjoyed the show. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. About half of those are partial. Total lunar eclipses seem to be more frequent, because it is visible from the entire dark side of the Earth, while solar eclipses cover a very narrow path across the Earth. The last total LUNAR eclipse in London (and western Europe and most of North America) was on February 21, 2008.


What are the similarities between the earth the sun and the moon?

-- all located in the Milky Way galaxy -- all members of the solar system -- all visible from Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, and Mars without a telescope -- all roughly spherical in shape -- all gravitationally bound to each other -- all intimately involved in lunar and solar eclipses -- all permanently located close to the ecliptic plane -- all intimately involved in the ocean tides -- all rotate axially -- rotation axis of each is relatively closely aligned perpendicular to the ecliptic plane


What is the condition necessary for eclipse to occur?

a solor eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of the earth and son at a perfect angle and cast a shadow so every thing would be in total and upper most darkness unless you are far or not close to the eclipse sight.


When is the meteor shower and eclipse happening after dec 21 2010?

Meteor showers and eclipses happen, if not all the time, frequently: there are approximately two solar and two lunar eclipses per year, and there are meteor showers about once a month, though some of them are more prominent than others. They have essentially nothing to do with each other; your question implies that there's some connection, which is not the case, so I'm not sure what you were really trying to ask.

Why and when do the lunar and solar eclipses occur?

Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.

Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.

There are two general types of Eclipse. They are Solar(Sun) and Lunar(Moon). Each of these eclipses can then be further classified into Total or Partial.

Why do most people think that lunar eclipses occur more often then a solar eclipses?

Most people may think lunar eclipses occur more often because lunar eclipses are visible from a larger geographic area on Earth compared to solar eclipses. Lunar eclipses also last longer and are easier to observe with the naked eye, making them seem more common. However, in reality, both lunar and solar eclipses occur at about the same frequency.
