Solar eclipses can only occur at the new moon, while all lunar eclipses happen at the full moon.
No, annular eclipses do not happen every year. They occur when the Moon is farthest from Earth, making it appear smaller and not fully cover the Sun during the eclipse. This alignment is not a regular occurrence, so annular eclipses happen less frequently than total solar eclipses.
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses

Solar eclipses can only occur at the new moon, while all lunar eclipses happen at the full moon.
Solar eclipses are caused by the shadow of the Moon hitting the Earth. Solar eclipses happen on the Earth.
No, solar eclipses can be years apart.
There were two solar eclipses in 2010, in January and in July.
This can only happen at new moon.

A solar eclipse can only happen at new moon - but they don't happen at every new moon.
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.

When the moon is very nearly on-line between the centers of the Sun and Earth. (That will also be the time of 'New Moon'.)
because the only happen in a certain place
There are typically between 2 to 7 eclipses each year, which can be a combination of solar and lunar eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, while lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.
