The path of an eclipse can take many different routes and cross different countries. It depends on the exact places the sun, moon and earth have in relation to each other.
Such routes can be calculated many years in advance.
When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth. -- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon. -- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky. So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.
Any place on earth where it's night-time during the lunar eclipse and the sky is clear.
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.
To see a total solar eclipse, yes. However, you need only be in the penumbra to see a partial eclipse.
Most people will, but not everyone. About 5 happen each year, but are only visible in some places when they happen. Some may not live long enough or may be in a place where there isn't one for a long time. Of those that do see them, some may only ever see partial eclipses and never a total eclipse.
The closest place to see the eclipse is determined by the specific location of the eclipse path. You can check online resources or consult with local astronomical organizations for the most accurate and up-to-date information on where to view the eclipse from your area.

If it is a lunar eclipse they see the shadow of the earth cross the surface of the moon. If it is a solar eclipse, they see the moon pass between the earth and the sun. NOTE: One should not look directly at the sun at all, even during an eclipse.
No single eclipse ... solar or lunar ... is ever visible from every place on earth.No single solar eclipse is ever visible from every place or even half of the earth.

Yes. The answer to "will there be a solar eclipse in (any given year)" will almost always be yes; there will often be more than one. However, this doesn't guarantee that you will be able to see it from any particular location, and in fact it's fairly uncommon for a solar eclipse to be visible from a specific location.
During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipsesand 229 lunar ones ... pretty much as equal as you can get!But when one happens, a lunar eclipse can be seen over more area than asolar one can. So if you stay in one place, you see more lunar eclipses thansolar ones.
The next solar eclipse in Indiana is in Aug. 21, 2017. In Michigan you will see one in 2024.
