List Of Saros Series For Solar Eclipses
Solar eclipse, Solar eclipses are grouped by their Saros (astronomy), saros number, each series lasts between 1200 and 1600 years and contains from 69 to 87 solar eclipses (most often 70 to 73). Solar eclipses in odd series exist at the ascending Lunar node, node of the Moon's orbit, and even series occur at the descending nodes. Each series begins with partial eclipses, transitions into umbral eclipses (which includes annular, hybrid, and total eclipses), and then reverses back to partial. The counts for each type and their order are listed below. Ongoing saros series are highlighted according to the type of eclipses currently being produced. Series have been indexed as -13 to 190 (active between roughly 2000 BCE and 3000 CE), with events summarized: See also * List of saros series for lunar eclipses * Lists of solar eclipses References {{DEFAULTSORT:Saros series for solar eclipses Solar saros series, * Solar eclipses ...

Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially. Such an alignment occurs approximately every six months, during the eclipse season in its new moon phase, when the Moon's orbital plane is closest to Ecliptic, the plane of Earth's orbit. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In #Types, partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured. Unlike a lunar eclipse, which may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth, a solar eclipse can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world. As such, although total solar eclipses occur somewhere on Earth every 18 months on average, they recur at any given place only once every 360 to 410 years. If the Moon were in a perfectly circular orbit and in the same orbital plane as Earth, there would be total solar eclipses once a month, at every new moon. Instead, because the Mo ...
