Solar Eclipses
Solar Eclipse is an eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon revolving in its orbit around the earth comes between the sun and the earth. The moon blocks the light of the sun and a shadow of the moon is cast over the earth's surface.Solar eclipses occur at intervals of just under six months.
814 Questions
Can an eclipse of the sun be seen by everyone on the day side of earth?
No. A total solar eclipse can only be seen in a relatively small area. A partial eclipse may be seen in a much larger but still limited area.
Can you die from the solar eclipse?
No. Looking directly at the sun can damage your vision, but it can't kill you.
Which layers of the sun are visible during a solar eclipse?
corona* apex!
You can see the corona better, but it is also visible with the naked eye but ONLY WITH APPROPRIATE PROTECTION!
What is it called when the moon is exactly between the sun and the earth?
It is a solar eclipse. The Moon passes across the face of the Sun, and blocks out the sunlight for a short period, so casting a shadow on the Earth.
During the what phase the moon is between earth and the sun?
If the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, it is not a phase, at all . . . it is a solar eclipse.
Yes, it is generally safe to watch videos on YouTube. If you're afraid of anyone viewing bad content on the website, consider getting the YouTube Kids app or enabling restricted mode.
What occurs more partial solar eclipse or a solar eclipse?
For the Earth as a whole, partial solar eclipses are slightly more common
than total ones.
For any one location on Earth, partial solar eclipses are far more common
than total ones.
Why is a solar eclipse less common?
Actually, globally solar eclipses are about as common as lunar eclipses, perhaps even a bit more common. However, they can only be seen from a narrow strip of Earth - especially if you want to see it as a total eclipse, while a lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, more or less.
What are conditions necessary for a total solar eclipse?
There are two conditions required for the moon to produce total solar eclipse.
- First the moon must pass directly in front of the sun so that no portion of the sun shows at the top or bottom of the lunar disk.
- Secondly the moon must be at such a distance in its slightly elliptical orbit that its apparent disk size is a large or larger than the sun's. When the moon is slightly further away the disks do not match and there is an annular ring of light around the moon. The moons distance at perigee is 363,000 km and at apogee is 405,600 km.
A third condition is applicable to the observe. He or she must be present on the Earth at a point that the path of totality passes across the viewpoint. It is possible to see the eclipse as total in the path and partial outside (north or south ) of the path.
What are the four different kind of solar eclipse?
There are four different types of solar eclipse, namely Partial eclipse, Annular eclipse, Total Eclipse and Hybrid Eclipse. A partial solar eclipseoccurs when only part of the Sun is covered by the Moon which appears to take a "bite" out of the Sun.
Does a Solar eclipses occur each month at different locations on Earth?
No, solar eclipses happen about twice a year. (Sometimes instead of one "real" eclipse, we get two "partial" eclipses.) You can look up the dates and locations of solar eclipses starting with the year 2000 BC and going to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse web site (linked below).
Is it never safe to watch a solar eclipse with the naked eye?
It is safe to look at a solar eclipse with the naked eye only during totality. At any other time you need proper eye protection.
How are moon phases associated with solar and lunar eclipses?
Moon phases and lunar eclipses both deal with the earth. They are deal with both the sun and the earth.
What is the layer of the sun which appears rather pink during solar eclipses?
Maybe the the "corona" sometimes, but probably the "chromosphere" is the right answer. In fact the chromosphere is usually described as red rather than pink.
What does new moon and full moon mean?
A new moon - is when the moon's disc is completely in the shadow of the Earth. A full moon - is when the whole of the moon's surface is illuminated by the sun. Lunar eclipses can only occur during a full moon. Solar eclipses only occur during a new moon.
What is the ring around a full solar eclipse called?
This type of eclipse is called an "annular eclipse" and the ring is an "annulus".
Can you take a picture of a solar eclipse?
It is not safe to take a picture of a solar eclipse directly with a camera or smartphone as it can damage your eyes or the camera sensor. Instead, you can use proper eclipse-viewing equipment or techniques to safely view and photograph a solar eclipse, like using solar filters or observing the eclipse indirectly through a pinhole projector.
What is the face in which a solar eclipse can happen?
A solar eclipse can only happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. This alignment can create different types of solar eclipses, such as total, partial, or annular eclipses, depending on the positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth.

Can you look at a solar eclipse without it hurting you?
You should never look directly at a solar eclipse as it will damage your eyes. Look at it wearing very dark glasses or indirectly in a reflection in water
What would happen if you didn't have any solar eclipses?
Solar and lunar eclipses are accidents, caused by the fact that the Moon orbits in a slightly different plane around the Earth than the Earth does around the Sun. If they were in exactly the same plane, we'd have solar eclipses at every new moon, and lunar eclipses at every full moon.
They are also "accidental" in the sense that it is an amazing coincidence that the apparent angular size of the Moon in the sky is almost exactly the same as the angular size of the Sun; even though the Sun is enormously larger, the Moon is closer by the same proportion.
If the Moon were much smaller, or orbited in a plane more tilted to the ecliptic, then we would never see eclipses.
In terms of the effects of a solar eclipse on us, the inhabitants of the Earth, the Moon is like a big stony cloud that blocks the Sun for a couple of minutes. It has absolutely no physical effect on us.
Why is the moons shadow cast on earth during a solar eclipse?
This is not really a "why" sort of question.
The moon has a shadow, because it's a solid opaque object.
The moon's shadow sometimes falls on the Earth, because the Earth, Moon, and Sun are sometimes arranged so that that can happen.
When that happens, we call it a solar eclipse. We could call it a mumblefrazz instead, and then I suppose you'd be asking why the moon's shadow was cast on Earth during a mumblefrazz.
If the moon were smaller, or further away, its shadow would never fall on the earth (technically, its penumbra or anteumbra still would, but its umbra would not) and we'd never experience total mumblefrazzes.
yeah but speakers are not very good!! yeah but speakers are not very good!!
Where are the earth sun and moon during a solar eclipse?
The Moon and Sun are in the sky, and the Earth is right there underneath you like it always is.
It's hard to answer the question seriously without a diagram. I advise visiting the sites linked below, which answer the question far more thoroughly than we could hope to.
