How many kinds of eclipse are there?
On Earth, we get solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse is when the Sun is obscured by all or part of the moon so that there is a shadow cast directly onto the surface of the earth. A lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes wholly or partially through the shadow of the Earth caused by the Sun, which darkens the Moon, or changes it distinctly reddish. Obviously in other positions in space, other kinds of eclipses would be possible. For instance, Mars has two moons, so it two different kinds of lunar eclipses. On a planet orbiting a binary star, you might speak of an eclipse when one star passes behind another, etc. There are some other complicated kinds of eclipse like the "Analemma Eclipse" in this picture " http://bethlapides.com/images//tutulemma.jpg "
What time will the solar eclipse start Perth time?
Western Australia is trialling daylight savings until 2009. It begins at 2am on the last Sunday in October. In 2008, this is the 26th of October.
Can a lunar and solar eclipse occur on same day?
Yes. Every total solar eclipse that happens for one observer is a partial eclipse for someone situated farther away. Every time a total solar eclipse is viewed from Earth, without exception, there will also be a partial solar eclipsed as viewed by other lucky people not located within the path of totality. Do not write me back about people standing on stilts at the Earth's north and south poles. Not only is it possible, it is an absolute certainty. Not all partial solar eclipses can be total ones too, but all total eclipses are partial eclipses somewhere.
Which eclipses occur when the tilt of the moon's orbit around the earth is tilted at zero to the earth's orbit?
This is when a Solar Eclipse occurs, the total eclipse happens when the moon's apparent size is bigger than the sun's and the moon blocks out nearly all of the sun's light - thus making stars appear.
How often does a Solar Eclipse occur at the same place?
Solar eclipses are pretty quick; a half-hour or so of partial eclipse a few minutes - seven minutes, tops - of totality, and a half-hour of decreasing partial eclipse. Lunar eclipses can last much longer. An hour or more of partial eclipse, up to 90 minutes or so of totality, and another hour of partial eclipse. Every eclipse is different. The differences in the durations are that the Earth's shadow, like the Earth itself, is much larger than the Moon's shadow. The NASA web page of eclipse details will tell you how long each eclipse will last, depending on your location. See the link below.
Why it is bad for us to look at the solar eclipse?
Because the solar eclipse is so bright that it can damage or even burn your eyes
Can people be outside while an eclipse?
Yes. But don't look at the Sun directly (assuming you are talking about a solar eclipse). Even during a solar eclipse, the Sun is still bright enough to damage your eyes.
Why should you not stare at a solar eclipse?
The Sun is very bright, and looking straight at it can cause eye damage.
Why will you go blind if you look at a solar eclipse?
You won't, but if there is a freak mishap and it is as bright as the sun then that is probably the only reason
Is eclipse different from solar eclipse?
eclipse is of two kinds- solar eclipse and lunar eclipse
Did Hipparchus predict a lunar eclipse or a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse.
Will the solar eclipse cause damage?
A solar eclipse is not dangerous, except to those who are so fascinated by it that they stare directly at it, which can damage the eyes. The sun is too bright to look at directly, even when it is being eclipsed (except for one very brief moment, in the case of a total eclipse).
What is the thin red rim around the Sun during a total solar eclipse called?
The thin red rim around the Sun during a total solar eclipse is called the solar chromosphere. It is the lower part of the Sun's atmosphere and is visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon fully covers the Sun's bright disk, allowing the chromosphere to be seen.

Why is the sun corona visible to the unaided eye only during the solar eclipse?
During a solar eclipse, the moon blocks the bright surface of the sun (photosphere), allowing the much fainter outer atmosphere (corona) to become visible. The corona is normally overshadowed by the photosphere's intense brightness, making it visible only when the photosphere is obscured during an eclipse.
What is rarer A blue moon or a solar eclipse?
solar eclipse
