The earth gets it's light from the sun. During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks that light.
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.
Solar eclipse Eclipses recorded made in china are 4,000 years old. Researches have showed that solar eclipses had been depicted in the mythology of Egypt. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and the shadow stays on earth. in China they bang drums and make loud noise during eclipses to stop the Chinese dragon from eating the sun away. Even in the nineteenth century, the Chinese fired its cannons during an eclipse to scare the dragon from eating the Moon. The first solar eclipse was seen on May 28, 585 BC near the Halys River in Turkey. Soldiers of the Medians and Lydians were the first people to see it, which caused their war to stop. the longest solar eclipse was 6 and a half minutes long in india, butan, nepal, bangledesh,china,japan a and the marshall islands. A solar eclipse can only happen when the new moon begins. the moon and the earth are moving around the sun. The moon comes in front of the earth to form a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse makes one part of the earth dark. They only happen on the bright side of the earth, the side facing the sun. no one knows how many years there are between each solar eclipse
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.
The darker complete shadow is the "umbra". The lighter partial shadow is the penumbra.
The dark lines represents the absorption of energy at that frequency, E=hf.
During a total solar eclipse, at one point it will be almost completely dark.
The entire area becomes completely dark as a normal solar eclipse woulddo to a certain area.
True, if you are in the shadow path of the eclipse.
you see there is no sun and outside is dark
Yes, but only during a total solar eclipse as it gets dark enough to trick birds into thinking night has fallen.
Yes.
yeah it can
yes
During a total solar eclipse it does get darker and some of the brighter stars can be seen.
Only if the eclipse passes over Iceland. During a total solar eclipse, only a small part of the world actually sees it as a total eclipse. The path in which some of the Sun is obscured is about 6400 km wide, but the path in which a total eclipse occurs is only about 250 km wide. (The Moon's shadow is 3474 km wide.)

What you photo during a solar eclipse is the solar rings showing around the moon. It is possible to photo them but you need to put a dark lense on the front of the camera and do not look at the screen directly.
