there are two shadows the umbra and the pen-umbra.the umbra like the name sounds is like an umbrella the pen-umbra can be drawn to a specific zone.  Light refracts into the umbra and the pen-umbra is the area inside which has no refraction(bending) of light.

the light side of the moon move in front of the sun causing it to form the image you see that is know as the solar eclipse\n(since the dark side of the moon is facing you then it's clearly dark, and the sun's behind it so light shines around it)

San Francisco will not have a total solar eclipse any time in the next 200 years.  There will be an annular eclipse (where the sun's disk is partially covered) on Feb. 18, 2110.  The closest total eclipse to San Francisco will occur on the Central Coast south of San Francisco on May 3, 2106.

They are not the same.  During a full solar eclipse, the moon's shadow is only a spot on earth because the moon is much smaller than the earth, you have to be inside that spot on earth to see the full solar eclipse.\n\nDuring a full lunar eclipse, the earth's shadow covers the entire moon, and you don't see the moon no matter where on earth you are.

None really in almost the next 200 years at least.\nFrom this site http://www.sbrewer.demon.co.uk/Miscellany/eclipse.html here is the list.\n31 May 2003\nAh, this one’s not quite total, it’s only an annular eclipse, visible from the North of Scotland at dawn, including Inverness, the Orkneys, Shetlands, and Lewis.\n\n20 Mar 2015\nAh, this one’s not quite visible from the British Isles, but the path crosses between Scotland and Iceland, over the Faroe Islands, and into the Arctic.\n\n3 Sep 2081 Ah, this one’s not quite visible from mainland Britain. The Channel Islands will get a decent view, and the eclipse only narrowly misses the tip of Cornwall.\n\n23 Sep 2090\nYes, at last a total eclipse does cross the mainland, south of a line from Minehead to Hastings. To get the best view you’ll need to be in, where else, Cornwall.\n\n7 Oct 2135\nAnother total eclipse, this one just after sunrise, visible across central and southern Scotland and north-east England, from Dundee down to Bridlington. \n\n25 May 2142\nAh, this one’s not quite visible from mainland Britain. The Channel Islands will get a decent view, and the eclipse narrowly misses the south coast of England.\n\n14 Jun 2151\nA total eclipse will be visible across southern Scotland, and northern and eastern England. It’s London’s first total eclipse since 1715, and it was 1151 before that.\n\n4 Jun 2160\nBloody Cornwall again.\n\n8 Nov 2189\nBloody Cornwall again.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Wiki\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_eclipses_visible_from_the_United_Kingdom_1000_AD_-_2006_AD\n\n21st Century (2000 - AD2090)\n\n\n31st May 2003 : An Annular Solar Eclipse at Sunrise was observed in the far north-west of Scotland.\n\n29th March 2006 : A partial solar eclipse was visible across the UK. South-easern England saw the greatest magnitude at around 25%, northern Scotland the least at around 15%. The eclipse was total in Libya and Turkey.\n\n1st August 2008 : A small partial eclipse over the whole of the UK as a total eclipse crosses central Russia east of the Urals. 40% in the north of Scotland falling to less than 20% in the south-west of England.\n\n4th January 2011 : A partial eclipse, which is nowhere total, can be seen at sunrise in south-east England, where with a favourable south-eastern horizon a Sun 75% covered by the Moon may be seen.\n\n20th March 2015 : An eclipse which is total across the north Atlanic including the Faroes Islands will result in a large partial eclipse across the UK, greater than 80% everywhere.\n\n11th August 2018 : A very small partial eclipse on the northern coast of Scotland, the Orkney and Shetland Islands.\n\n23rd September 2090 : Total Solar Eclipse : the next total eclipse visible in the UK follows a track similar to that of 11th August 1999, but shifted slightly further north and occuring very near sunset. Maximum duration in Cornwall will be 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

The next Total Solar eclipse visible in Canada is August 1, 2008 in Nunavut. \n\nYour best bet would be to book a cruise since much of the eclipse is over water.\n\nHere are two links to travel groups planning to cruise this eclipse.

You can't even call total lunar eclipses "total", as you can still see the sun's halo in a total lunar eclipse. A more accurate definition for a total solar eclipse would be when the planet is completely inside the sphere of the other...\n\nSo yes, being twice away the moon would appear smaller by a noticeable amount, but I think an eclipse that would cause the moon to appear directly in front of the sun would still be called a total eclipse.

Your question doesn't make very much sense.  Do you mean how can a solar or lunar eclipse resemble the phases of the Moon?

Whoever informed you that you would have a total eclipse was wrong. At maximum, Kuwait City only had a 45% eclipse. The next total eclipse (as seen from Kuwait City) is on September 3rd 2081

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and obscures it totally or partially. This configuration can only occur at New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, as seen from Earth. A total solar eclipse is considered by many to be the most spectacular natural phenomenon that one can observe.\n\nHow scientist know that there is going to be an eclipse? because they know the line of path the moon and earth is moving and its speed and stuffs.

Below is a complete site that the Exploratorium in San Francisco put together for the eclipse that happened on 29 March 2006.  You can see a map of the full path of it, as well as watch videos of what totality looked like.

The total lunar eclipse does occur more often, simply because it's caused by the shadow of the Earth falling on the Moon and the Earth is larger than the Moon.\n\nBut total lunar eclipses are visible from the entire side of the Earth that happens to be facing the Moon; whereas total solar eclipses are only visible from the narrow path on Earth's surface where the Moon and Sun line up exactly. That's the real reason why total solar eclipses are so seldom seen.

No. an eclipse is just a light phenomanon, the position of the sun and moon are not changed enough to cause their gravity to shake us up.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and obscures it totally or partially. This configuration can only occur at New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, as seen from the Earth.\n\nThere are four types of solar eclipses:\n\n1.A total eclipse occurs when the Sun is completely  obscured by the Moon. The intensely bright disk of the Sun is replaced by the dark outline of the Moon, and the much fainter corona is visible (see image right). During any one eclipse, a total eclipse is visible only from a fairly narrow track on the surface of the Earth. \n2.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 surrounding the outline of the Moon. \n\n3.A hybrid eclipse is intermediate between a total and annular eclipse. At some points on the Earth it is visible as a total eclipse; whereas at others it is annular. The generic term for a total, annular or hybrid eclipse is a central eclipse. \n\n4.A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line, and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun. This phenomenon can usually be seen from a large part of the Earth outside of the track of a central eclipse. However, some eclipses can only be seen as a partial eclipse, because the central line never intersects the Earth's surface.

Yes the earth moves round the sun as do the other planets and when the sun and the moon are aligned with the earth then we are eclipsed depending on which part on the planet you live.

I believe Eclipse has significantly better community traction and support. (as a piece of anecdotal evidence, a search for "java netbeans" yields 2.3M results, while a search for "java eclipse" yields over 15M.)\nAlso, Eclipse is built on top of the SWT UI toolkit, as opposed to the more sluggish Swing over AWT model used by NetBeans.\nFinally, Eclipse is built as a generic IDE. People are actively building support for other languages over it, such as C/C++, PHP and Flash. It is nice to know you can leverage your knowledge of this IDE when looking into another language.
