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.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and 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.
Lunar eclipses always occur at the full moon, while solar eclipses can only happen during a new moon. thats a horrible answer , you could get that from watching twilight once.
There are generally two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes you will see two partial eclipses instead of one total eclipse; in 2011, there will be four partial solar eclipses, and no total or annular solar eclipses. Since lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, they are visible from the entire night half of the Earth. Solar eclipses, when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, affect very small areas of the Earth, and so they seem to be more rare. The next total lunar eclipse will happen on December 21, 2010, and will be visible from any point in North America.
Lunar eclipses and solar eclipses happen EQUALLY often; about two of each kind per year. However, solar eclipses are visible only across a small path on the Earth, while lunar eclipses are visible from the entire nighttime hemisphere of the planet.
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.
Lunar Eclipses happen on average twice a year.
Lunar eclipses can only be see at night. Solar eclipses are visible during the day.
yes
Lunar eclipses occur precisely at the full moon.
because the lunar eclipses happen when the Earths shadows fall , hidding it from the suns light.
They don't. During the 20th Century, there were 228 and 229.Lunar eclipses seem more common because a lunar eclipse can be seenfrom everywhere on the Earth's night side, but a solar eclipse can only beseen from a relatively narrow strip on the Earth's surface.
when all the planets are in a strait line i think
partial
