How often does a full moon lunar eclipse happen?

A full moon lunar eclipse happens approximately twice a year.


How often does an annular eclipse occur?

Annular solar eclipses occur when the moon is too far away from earth to completely cover the face of the sun, leaving a thin 'ring' of uncovered sun around the edge of the moon. This is different from a partial eclipse in which the moon does not align with the sun in such a way that the sun is completely blocked. Annular eclipses would occur only when the moon is at or near apogee, its farthest approach to earth. A+: when the moon is at apogee

Why is there a solar and lunar eclipse each month?

A solar and lunar eclipse do not occur every month because the orbits of the Earth and the Moon are tilted relative to each other by about 5 degrees. Eclipses can only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align closely, which occurs during specific times known as eclipse seasons, roughly every six months. During these periods, if the alignment is right, a solar eclipse (when the Moon covers the Sun) or a lunar eclipse (when the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon) can take place. Thus, while eclipses can happen multiple times a year, they do not occur every month.

What year will te next solar eclipse happen?

There are generally between two and five solar eclipses every year. Half or so will be partial or penumbral eclipses, and half of the rest will be annular, meaning that about one quarter of all solar eclipses are total. In 2011, there are four partial solar eclipses. The first was on January 4; the next will be on June 10.
