Is it true that a solar eclipse happen every 370 years?
Pick any year that has a solar eclipse, and there's a darn good chancethat there'll be one 370 years later.There are typically 1 - 4 of them every year.In the 100 years from 1901 to 1000, there were 228 solar eclipses,for an average of 2.28 per year.
Why do more people see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse?
That is probably not true. Lunar eclipses may happen at night, but they last for hours and they are observable by everyone on earth who can see the moon while it is in progress. Solar eclipses cover only small swatches of earth and last only minutes at any one location.
Does a lunar eclipse always occur at a full moon?
This is true. The full moon happens when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. Because the Moon's orbit is tilted a little relative to the Earth's, the Moon is usually not EXACTLY on the opposite side of the Earth - but when it is, the Moon orbits right into the Earth's shadow, and we see a lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse can take place only when the moon is full?
Yes, a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon. This phenomenon happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. This alignment creates the conditions for a partial or total lunar eclipse.
Isnt true that eclipse can effect your life?
Eclipses themselves will not have any effect on your life. An eclipse is no different from night. Philosophically, the emotions that you feel while viewing an eclipse can be quite powerful. And if you are staring at the eclipsed Sun during a solar eclipse, the moment at which the Moon moves to reveal the Sun, the sunlight can seriously damage your eyes, but that's true of any time when you stare directly at the Sun.
What does it mean to be democratic republic?
A democratic republic is a country that is both a democracy and a republic. A republic is a country where the head of state is elected to a term of office (like a president), not appointed for life based on birthright (like a king a or queen).

Did the invention of the tin foil phonograph have any impact on society?
AnswerYes, the tinfoil phonograph as invented by Thomas A. Edison in 1877 did have an impact! Previous to the phonograph's invention no one would have dared to believe a dead person's speech could come back to life! It was then thought that once a person died, all things verbal went with them, lost forever. To be able to hear a dead person was almost surreal! Edison shattered all that! Even when the phonograph was written about in the newspapers, most people simply didn't and couldn't believe it was true. People just couldn't conceive the fact a simple metal device could do such a thing. Edison's invention proved so popular that "Scientific-American" sold plans so that a person could construct a phonograph at home.That helped cement the idea that anyone could actually accomplish what a inventor did in his lab.People made good money for several years demonstrating the machines in public venues. Everyone wanted to see one in action. Once shown and proven, the device changed people's ideas about permanence!
Is it true that if you drink vinegar before a drug test you will pass it?
Yes, every time you feel like smoking a joint, take a double shot of vinegar instead. If you do this for two months straight, the THC will be in your system in such low levels that most tests will not detect it. You can even skip the vinegar for those two months you go without smoking dope. There is nothing magical about vinegar. THC is fat-soluble and does not dissolve in vinegar.
When did Helen Keller die?
Helen Keller died June 1 in 1968. She died peacefully in her sleep of a heart attack, or so says her nurse who was with her at the time. Helen was not scared of dying, because she knew she would be able to see and hear in heaven. Helen Keller communicated with her family by using sign language. She would trace letters into Anne Sullivan's hand and Anne would interpret what Helen was trying to say. Anne was Helen Keller's teacher until she died in 1936. Anne was 70 when she died.
