The differnence between a total solar eclipse and a partial solar eclipse is that a total solar eclipse you can see the moon appear to cover the sun completely and then the sky becomes dark that you can see the stars and a total solar eclipse lasts no longer than about seven minutes. The partial solar eclipse is similar to a total solar eclipse except that the moon never completely covers the sun. From- Amanda amondo
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. There are different types of solar eclipses, including total, partial, and annular, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Solar eclipses are rare events that can only be seen from specific locations on Earth.
Because people may ask the question years from now and come upon the answer here, any date or location we give will probably be out of date; there are about two solar eclipses a year on average, though of course any given one is only visible from part of the Earth.Instead, let me direct you to NASA's eclipse site. That shouldn't become out of date any time soon, since it has information about eclipses (both dates and maps) until the year 3000.
Over the average of many years, there are 2.3 of each kind of eclipse per year, both solar and lunar. During the 20th Century (1901 to 2000) there 229 solar and 230 lunar eclipses.
A total solar eclipse occurs approximately every 18 months somewhere on Earth. The duration of a total solar eclipse at any particular location is typically a few minutes.
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible along the Maine-Canada border in northwestern Maine.

2012 May 20: Annular Solar EclipseThere will be 4 eclipses in 2012. 2 solar and 2 lunar. Here are the dates and what type of lunar/solar eclipse they might be.* May 20, 2012: Annular Solar Eclipse* June 04, 2012: Partial Lunar Eclipse* November 13, 2012: Total Solar Eclipse* November 28, 2012: Penumbral Lunar EclipseWhat is an Annular Solar Eclipse?A solar eclipse in which the moon covers all but the outer ring circumference of the sun.What is a Partial Lunar Eclipse?An eclipse in which the moon is not completely immersed in the umbra of the earth's shadow.What is a Total Solar Eclipse?When the moon come between the earth and the sun.What is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse?When the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon.
July 22, 2009. It will be a spectacularly visible total solar eclipse visible from just north of Mumbai, India through Nepal and China to Shanghai, and across most of the Pacific Ocean. The next good solar eclipse visible in North America will be on August 21, 2017.

A solar eclipse is formed on a new moon day, when Sun , Moon and Earth come in a stragiht line. The eclipse occurs on the earth where shadow of moon falls on our lovely planet, Earth.
No. The only possible danger would come from looking directly at a solar eclipse, which can damage your eyes.
Because the world is always rotating, the places that see the solar eclipse will have to be facing the moon when it is blocking the sunlight.
because it takes a while for the moon to come right im between the sun and earth in the solar eclipse.
The next total solar eclipse in Johannesburg will be February 14, 2306. There will be a couple of total eclipses that come very close to Johannesburg on November 25, 2030 and August 2, 2046.You can check the NASA Eclipse Explorer to look at the expected times for eclipses for any location anywhere in the world at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/JSEX/JSEX-AF.html
This event is called a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth's surface. This causes a temporary darkening of the sky in the regions where the eclipse is visible.
