Where are annular eclipses most common to happen?
Annular eclipses are most common to happen in regions along the "path of annularity," which varies with each eclipse. These regions are typically located in the northern and southern hemispheres, often in remote or less populated areas. Japan is one of the countries where annular eclipses are relatively common.
Which moon phase do solar eclipses happen?
Solar eclipses can only occur at the new moon, while all lunar eclipses happen at the full moon.
Why is lunar eclipse seen more frequently?
Lunar eclipses and solar eclipses happen EQUALLY often; about two of each kind per year. However, solar eclipses are visible only across a small path on the Earth, while lunar eclipses are visible from the entire nighttime hemisphere of the planet.
Which occur more often partial or lumbar eclipse?
Partial eclipses occur more frequently than total (or "lumbar") eclipses. This is because partial eclipses can happen when the Moon only partially covers the Sun, which is more common given the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Total eclipses are rarer since they require a precise alignment where the Moon completely covers the Sun from the Earth's perspective. Overall, partial eclipses are more accessible to observe and happen several times a year.
Does the annular eclipse happen every year?
No, annular eclipses do not happen every year. They occur when the Moon is farthest from Earth, making it appear smaller and not fully cover the Sun during the eclipse. This alignment is not a regular occurrence, so annular eclipses happen less frequently than total solar eclipses.
Do partial or total lunar eclipses happen more often?
partial
Do eclipses happen more often on the equator?
yes because of gravity. dah!
Why does the lunar eclipses happen more often?
Earth's shadow is bigger comoared to the moons
How often do eclipses happen in Moon and Sun?
About one or two solar eclipses per year, and one or two lunar (Moon) eclipses per year, on average. Go to NASA.com and search it. there will be a map with the spots of eclipses and time/year.
Do planets with moons have eclipses as often as earth?
Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.

How often does a eclipse of the sun and moon happen?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. You can see the complete catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Site at the link below.

What causes eclipses to happen?
The moon covers the sun.
