What occurs more partial solar eclipse or a solar eclipse?
For the Earth as a whole, partial solar eclipses are slightly more commonthan total ones.For any one location on Earth, partial solar eclipses are far more commonthan total ones.
When a solar eclipse occurs does the whole Earth see it at the same time?
No, during a solar eclipse, only a specific region on Earth can see the total eclipse, called the path of totality. Other regions may experience a partial eclipse. The timing of when different parts of the Earth see the eclipse varies depending on their location.
What is the difference between the lunar eclipse and solor eclipse?
In a lunar eclipse the Earth is in the middle and blocks the Sun's light from the Moon, so that happens always at Full Moon but not every time. A solar eclipse has the Moon in the middle so it happens at New Moon, but not every time, and the Moon is not big enough to shadow the whole Earth so a solar eclipse is seen only in a strip across the Earth's surface.
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 do more people see a lunar eclipse?
I believe it is because of the technology we have this day and age. It's because a lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, while a solar eclipse only occurs along a relatively narrow track on the Earth's surface. The Moon is too small to eclipse the whole Earth all at once, so although there are as many solar eclipses as lunar, fewer people get to see each one.

Does an earthquake affect the solar system?
No, it only effects parts of earth. Earthquakes don't affect the whole solar system. That's why they call them earthquakes. Because they happen on the earth and the earth only.

Why do lunar eclipse last longer than solar?
An eclipse is caused by shadows. A Solar eclipse is the moon's shadow on the Earth, while a lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the moon.The Earth is much larger than the Moon, so the Earth casts a bigger shadow, which lasts longer.In a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth; in a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. The Earth is much bigger and its shadow completely covers the Moon and quite a bit more. The Moon's shadow only completely blocks the Sun over a small bit of Earth's surface.
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 don't eclipse occur during every full moon or new moon?
This is because the Moon needs to be blocking the source of light provided to us, this source is the Sun. The 'new moon' is the first phase where there is almost no visible moon. The 'full moon' is where you can see the whole moon. To cause a solar eclipse, the moon needs to be in the line of the Earth and the Sun, and to cause a Lunar eclipse, the Earth needs to be in the line of the Sun and the Moon. Sun-Moon-Earth = Solar Eclipse Sun-Earth-Moon = Lunar Eclipse

The Moon is too small to eclipse the whole Earth all at once, so although there are as many solar eclipses as lunar, fewer people get to see each one.
Is lunar eclipse longer than solar eclipse?
Yes. The Earth is much larger than the Moon, so the shadow of the Earth is larger than the shadow of the Moon. And a solar eclipse happens here on the Earth, as the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth; at most, an observer at one spot on the Earth will experience an eclipse that lasts 7 minutes, 30 seconds. (If you could travel across the Earth while remaining in the shadow, like NASA's C141 transport with the large telescope, you could experience a couple of HOURS of eclipse.) For an observer here on Earth, the lunar eclipse happens ON THE MOON, so we can see the whole thing, up to about 90 minutes in duration.
What causes an annular eclipse?
An annular eclipse or annular solar eclipse is when the moon isn't close enough to the Earth during a solar eclipse to cover the whole circumference of the Sun, leaving a ring of light around the Moon.
Do solar flares affect the whole world at the same time?
Solar flares affect the Earth as a whole, but the impact can vary depending on factors such as the location of the flare on the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. Effects like radio interference and potential disruptions to satellites or power grids can be widespread, but their intensity can differ across regions.
