The path of totality of a solar eclipse is fairly narrow, and the Earth is 3/4 oceans. For any specific spot on the Earth, there may not be any total solar eclipses for hundreds of years.

How do you make a solar eclipse?

You dont make it. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, partially blocking it or completely blocking it, which is known as a total solar eclipse. When this happens the light bursts out the sides creating an annulus, or ring of light. Here is a video of a total solar eclipse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWBmKQRQsks&feature=related The annulus is at 2:22

How do you use annular eclipse in a sentence?

What is the difference between a annular and total eclipse?

A total eclipse occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright disk of the Sun, allowing the much fainter solar corona to be visible. During any one eclipse, totality only occurs at best in a narrow track on the surface of the Earth.An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the outline of the Moon.The reason for the difference is that the Moon's orbit is elliptical - and with a moderate eccentricity. At apogee (furthest point from the Earth) the Moon is about 50,000 miles further away than at perigee, when it is closest. Things that are further away appear to be a little smaller - and at apogee, the apparent size of the Moon is not big enough to cover the apparent size of the Sun. So a solar eclipse at apogee will be annular - the Moon won't block the entire Sun. A solar eclipse at perigee will last much longer than average.
