What is a solar eclipse what is a lunar eclipse?
Interesting! It depends on how you think about it. If you stand on one spot on the earth then the period of totality for a solar eclipse will be a maximum of about 7 mins. while from the same spot the period of totality for a lunar eclipse will last about 50 mins. However, during a solar eclipse the shadow of the moon races across the face of the earth from west to east, and while any one spot is only in totality for a few minutes, the shadow is present on the planet for (3 -3.5 hours), much longer than a lunar eclipse lasts.

What does the word totality in a solar eclipse?
Totality in a solar eclipse is the state in which the sun is completely blocked by the moon so that only the corona and perhaps solar prominence are visible. During this time and only this time is it safe to look at a solar eclipse without eye protection. The area that experiences totality is in the moon's umbra, the darkest part of its shadow. Only a relatively small area can experience totality at any given time. Since the umbra moves along the surface quickly, no single area experiences totality for more than a few minutes. Surrounding the umbra is the much larger penumbra. Areas in the penumbra witness a partial eclipse, where the moon only blocks part of the sun. Even areas along the path of totality will be in the penumbra for a while before and after totality.
