How can we calculate
the duration of an
eclipse
Eclipses do not happen on a near-monthly basis because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the . As a result, a total lunar eclipse can only happen when the Moon is in its or phase as it crosses through the Earth's .
a) Why can many more people witness a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse?
Why are some solar eclipses total, and others annular?
