  1. Solar eclipses occur about twice a year. But seeing a total solar eclipse is often described as a "once in a lifetime" experience. Why is it so rare to experience a total solar eclipse?

Total solar eclipses only occur once or twice a century.

  • The width of the Moon's shadow is very narrow, so a particular area is very unlikely to lie along the path of totality during the eclipse.

Total solar eclipses usually occur in late winter, when clouds are most likely to block the view.


  • If you aren't paying attention at the time, its very easy not to notice a total solar eclipse.

What is the best explanation for the frequency of eclipses?

The Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the plane of the Earth's orbit. About every six months, the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned enough for a solar and a lunar eclipse to occur.


  • The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun in opposite directions. When the Moon's orbit crosses the Earth's orbit, a lunar or solar eclipse will occur.

A lunar or a solar eclipse occurs every time the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon orbits the Earth four times a year.

The atmospheric conditions that cause eclipses are only found at certain locations and times of year.
