THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
- What is a solar eclipse? - It happens because the Moon casts its shadow on the surface of Earth. If you happen to be in the shadow, you will see a total solar eclipse - TOTALITY.
- How often does it happen? - A solar eclipse is not that rare. Actually, it happens at least a couple of times a year - somewhere on Earth, that is.
- How fast does an eclipse travel? - Very fast. The orbital velocity of the Moon carries the shadow of the Moon eastwards very rapidly, at about 1500 miles per hour. That's twice the speed of sound. Sometimes it could be many times faster.
- From which side does the Moon cover the Sun? - The Moon always moves in from the west, in an easterly direction.
- How long does a total eclipse last? - In this upcoming eclipse of 2024, totality lasts for 4 minutes and 30 seconds if you are lucky enough to be in the center of the eclipse path. The longest duration of a total eclipse (theoretical maximum) is 7 minutes and 30 seconds!
- What is an annular eclipse? - If the Moon is not large enough to block the Sun 100%, you will see a thin "ring of fire" around the dark disk of the Moon. This is an annular eclipse we saw in 2023.
- Enjoy totality while you can - Our Moon is slowly receding from Earth - at the rate of 1.5 inches a year. Eventually, the Moon becomes so far away (its angular diameter not sufficient to cover the Sun completely) that a total eclipse is no longer possible - only annular eclipses. When does this happen? In 620 million years, there will be a very last total solar eclipse on Earth, regardless of who is here to witness it.
