Is it more common to see a solar or lunar eclipse why?
Both happen with roughly the same frequency, but one is more likely to see a lunar eclipse because it can be seen by anyone on the entire night side hemisphere of the earthwhile it is happening, while a solar eclipse can only be seen by those people within the small circle of the moon's shadow on the surface of the earth on the day side hemisphere of the earthwhile it is happening everyone outside this circle cannot see the solar eclipse.
Why is a solar eclipse not visible on every place on earth?
A solar eclipse happens when the moon orbits in front of the sun, Also on earth one half would be day and the other would be night. so the night half of earth wouldn't be able to see it because the suns not out at night
Can the solar eclipse be seen from any part of the earth that is having daylight at the time of the eclipse?
No. A solar eclipse can only be seen along its path. The path for a partial eclipse is much larger than the path for a total eclipse, but even that doesn't cover the entire daylight side of Earth.
When can you see a total solar eclipse?
You can see a total solar eclipse when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, completely blocking out the Sun's light. This phenomenon can only be observed in specific areas where the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth is precise.
Why are you less likely to see a total solar eclipse than a total lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse can be seen from about half the Earth - wherever the Moon is visible when the eclipse occurs.A solar eclipse can only be seen wherever the Moon's shadow falls on Earth. Note that the Moon is quite a bit smaller than the Earth.
What eclipse can be seen by about half of the earth at once?
That is a lunar eclipse which can be seen from everywhere on the dark side of the Earth, which is always a hemisphere with its centre at the place where the Sun is directly downwards.
Why does a lunar eclipse last longer the a solar eclipse?
Because a lunar eclipse is seen simultaneously by everyone occupying the dark side of the Earth. The Earth is larger than the Moon so the Moon has a long way to travel in its orbit before it comes out of the shadow. On the other hand a solar eclipse is only seen on a relatively small part of the Earth's surface. The Moon, being small, casts a relatively small shadow on the Earth's surface.
A total lunar eclipse cannot be seen by everyone on the night side of the Earth.?
You can see a lunar eclipse just not a solar. Lunar is when the moon turns orange from a lack of light, when it's behind the earth, then light reflects off of other planets. Solar is when the moon is in between the earth and the sun, blocking light th o the earth
Why are you more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?
You are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, which can be seen from anywhere on the night side of the Earth. In contrast, a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth, but this shadow is much smaller and can only be seen from a specific region on Earth.
A total lunar eclipse cannot be seen by everyone on the night side of the earth?

Where on earth can a lunar eclipse are observed?
A lunar eclipse can be observed from anywhere on Earth that is in the shadow of the Earth when the eclipse occurs. This typically includes the entire nighttime side of the planet, as the Earth casts a shadow that can be seen from multiple locations. However, the visibility of the eclipse may vary depending on local weather conditions and the specific timing of the event.

Where on earth do you need to be to view a lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the dark side of the Earth. The Moon is opposite the Sun because the eclipse happens at Full Moon, and the Moon should be at a good height, so it's preferable to view it from a place where the eclipse starts a couple of hour after sunset.
What side of the earth does a total lunar eclipse occur on if it is night?
The dark side.
What will you see when the moon is on the opposite side of earth as the sun?
an eclipse
