Lunar vs Solar Eclipses (newbie)
Hello,
I need to figure out which people have seen mo a lunar or a solar
eclipse. Here is my theory, please tell me if I'm right or wrong (if wrong,
tell me why)
More people have seen a solar eclipse.
Is it because the 5 degree orbit of the moon w/ respect to the
elliptic. There are very few times a year the moon, Earth, and sun are in
perfect alignment that can cause a lunar eclipse, whereas a solar eclipse
does not matter on the alignment of the three celestial bodies. Is this
correct?
Thanks,
Hale
