At the time of the new moon - that's about the only generality that would be accurate. You can see the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD at the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.

How many times does the lunar eclipse come?

A lunar eclipse occurs around 2-4 times a year. However, not everyone on Earth will be able to see every lunar eclipse as visibility depends on location and timing.


If standing on the surface of the moon might see which one what an eclipse of the moon or eclipse of the earth or the moon or an eclipse of the sun or eclipse of the earth or the sun?

If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.


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.


Can everybody see a lunar eclipse?

Anyone on the correct side of the Earth can see a lunar eclipse as long as they are where the sky is clear, they don't fall asleep, they are not blind, they look in the right direction, and there are no mountains, trees, buildings or other stuff blocking the view.If you can watch the eclipse, it will always be night at the time you watch it. This is because the Sun will always be precisely opposite to the Moon during a lunar eclipse - otherwise there would be no eclipse. And because the Moon has to be above the horizon to be watched, the Sun will have to be below the horizon.In other words: If it is night where you are at the time of a lunar eclipse, you will be able to see it (given the reservations above). And if it is day where you are during a lunar eclipse, you won't be able to see it (this is not because the Sun is too bright, but because the Moon is below the horizon).


What time will southwest Florida be able to see the lunar eclipse?

In southwest Florida, the lunar eclipse will be visible on November 19, 2021, starting at around 2:18 a.m. Eastern Time and reaching its maximum at around 4:02 a.m. Eastern Time. This eclipse will be a partial lunar eclipse, and the moon will set before the eclipse ends.

Can everybody see a lunar eclipse at the same time?

No, just as in a solar eclipse, the sun, earth and moon are in different positions depending on where you are on the earth. If we could all see it at the same time that would mean we would all be in the same exact spot on the earth.


Are more people able to see lunar eclipse or solar eclipse?

How do you view a lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse happens ON THE MOON, so it is visible from anywhere in the night half of the Earth. To see a lunar eclipse, go outside and look up. As long as the weather is clear, you'll be able to see it.

How are solar eclipse and lunar eclipse different?

A solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun which creates a shadow on the earth. So it would be earth then moon then sun all in a line. A lunar eclipse is when the earth is between the sun and moon blocking most of the light that is reflecting off the moon. Solar eclipses don't happen as often as lunar eclipses.


A total lunar eclipse cannot be seen by everyone on the night side of the earth?

You can see a lunar eclipse just not a solar. Lunar is when the moon turns orange from a lack of light, when it's behind the earth, then light reflects off of other planets. Solar is when the moon is in between the earth and the sun, blocking light th o the earth

Why do they have lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse is just the result of the Earth's shadow on the moon, as a result of a near perfect alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. It is not "forced" or "done" by man; it just happens. The lunar eclipse that will be able to be seen by all of North America will appear on December 21, 2010, and will be the first one to appear during the Winter Solstice in over 300 years.


Would you be able to see a lunar eclipse?

when the moon passes through the earths shadowAt a full moon... the Earth casts a shadow on the moon causing it to appear reddish brown.


What a lunar eclipse looks like from the moon?

I'm looks very much the way a solar eclipse looks from Earth. The Earth wold cover up most of the Sun leaving only the bright atmosphere or Corona. So you would be able to see every sunrise and sunset on Earth at the same time.


Where will you be able to see the next total lunar eclipse?
