The moon isn't revolving around the earth in a complete circle. For a solar eclipse to happen the moon must be directly between the sun an earth. Then you could only see the eclipse from one part of earth. For a lunar eclipse you can't see the moon at all or barely.

Which moon phase do solar eclipses happen?

Does the annular eclipse happen every year?

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.

Do planets with moons have eclipses as often as earth?

Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.


Would lunar eclipses happen if earth were larger?

yes

Why and when do the lunar and solar eclipses occur?

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.
