The Saros is 6585.32 days \n\nor in years 18 years 11 and a third days, plus or minus a day (Dependent on the number of Leap Years included in the eighteen year period).

The eclipse will pass diagonally across central Turkey from the Mediterranean coast in the southwest to the Black Sea coast in the Northwest.  The duration of eclipse totality will be about 3 minutes, 45 seconds at Manaugat at 10: 57 A.M or about 1:57 P.M. local time.

Its not that the times are different in different countries, it has to do with time zones. There are 16 (I think) different time zones around the world, so that no matter where you are in the world, the time will be about the same to where the sun is.\nTo learn more try the link

At that rate, it'd take about 2 trillion years for the earth to reach the distance from the sun where Venus is.  The solar system is only about 4 or 5 billion years old.  Answer: Venus was almost certainly never where we are.

It takes the earth approximately 365.25 days to orbit around the sun. A normal year is 365 days, then they add an extra day every four years when those four quarter days add up. However,they do not add the day on certain years, because it is just under a quarter of a day extra per year. So 2000 was NOT a leap year, for example.\n\nWe get "leap seconds"occasionally, too. It's all just trying to keep our artificial calendars in sync with the earth's orbit around the sun.

An interesting question, which requires thinking carefully about how our common measure of time is related to certain astronomical (solar) positional recurrences.  A lot of people (though not all) have answered you as though the year were exactly 365.25 days long on average, but it's more subtle than that.  \n\nThere are in fact two particular "years" of interest:\n\n1. The sidereal year (period of the Earth's revolution about the Sun with respect to the stars, i.e. operationally, the time for the Sun to apparently "return" to the same position against the stars, after a "year" [crudely 365+ days], as viewed from Earth):\n\n365.256366... days.\n\n2. The tropical year (time for the Sun to cross the celestial equator [the projection of the earth's equator in space] again [e.g. from south to north] after a "year" [crudely 365+ days]).  Alternatively, "the period of revolution of the Earth about the Sun with respect to the Vernal Equinox":\n\n365.242199... days.\n\n(Both figures are quoted to an accuracy sufficient for our present purposes.)\n\nThese two different "years" differ by just ~20.4 minutes, owing to the precession of the Earth.  (One full precession of the Earth's spin axis in space takes ~25781 years.  This long, latter number of years is in fact equal to 365.25 or so days divided by the (essentially observed) "motion of the Vernal Equinox along the celestial equator," at the rate of ~20.4 minutes per year as just mentioned --- check it out.  [Sorry about the technical language, but this is technical stuff.]) \n\nIt's actually the tropical year that determines the rate at which the observed seasons recur, and since we want them to be "at the same time of the year," our long-term timekeeping is geared to the tropical, not the sidereal year.\n\nNotice that at 365.242199 days, this "tropical year" is just a tad short of 365.25 days.  That's why, instead of the simplistic idea of a leap year occurring every 4 years (and having an extra day that accounts "exactly" for 4 x the extra 0.25 days), there will come a time when we've overcounted a bit.  \n\nFor example, after 100 years, we should have had 100 x 0.242199 "extra days," or 24.2199 days.  The "one more day every 4th year" rule would give us 25 extra days per century, ~ 0.78 days more than needed.  If we could drop just 1 day then, that would be better --- but then we'd be under by ~ 0.22 days --- aha! --- close to a quarter of a day!  That's why the revised rule comes in that complete century years are NOT leap years --- UNLESS they're divisible by 400!  (Figure out for yourself from the 365.242199 figure how well this works in the long run.  I think you'll find that the calendar, on average, doesn't get a full day out of step with these revised rules until something like 3,300 years have gone by!) \n\nO.K., so maybe this is much more than you wanted to know.  However, with the right understanding of what the length of the year we usually measure is, 365.242199... days, then 1 million days is 10^6 divided by this, or 2737.90926... years, or 2737 years and 332.10... days.***\n\n*** Remember, this is a mathematically average result, for essentially perfect intervening TROPICAL years (to the accuracy given).  If you want to know it in CALENDAR years and a specific whole number of days, the answer will vary slightly about the preceding result, according to when you start counting. This variability is not just because of the usual "every fourth year is a leap year"  pattern, but also because of the way that century years aren't all treated in the same manner.  It's awkward to give a general rule!  \n\nLive long and prosper.

Solar Eclipse only occur in New Moons because that's the only time when the moon is in the same direction as the Sun in relation to the Earth.  So, why doesn't a solar eclipse happen every New Moon, well, in most of the New Moons, the Moon is slightly below or above the Sun, this means that the Moon misses the line between the Sun and the Earth.  But occasionally, that Moon comes and blocks the electromagnetic radiation from the Sun and you got a solar eclipse.

A solar eclipse occurs when another planet (or the Moon) passes between the the Earth and the Sun and blocks the light from reaching the Earth.

Greetings,\n\nOn the Greek island of Kastellorizo just off the Turkish coast totality lasted 3 minutes.\n\nFor a great article regarding the eclipse, including video clips from NASA and the Discovery Channel check out this link to Sky and Telescope: http://skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/eclipses/article_1706_1.asp\n\n-matt

Never.  A solar eclipse happens when the moon moves between the Earth and the Sun.  A lunar eclipse happens when the moon is on the other side of the Earth where it casts a shadow. \n\nSolar eclipse:\n\nS ------- M -- E\n\nLunar eclipse:\n\nS ------------- E -- M\n\nThese two events are disjoint and will never occur simultaneously.\n\nThe synodic period of the moon is approximately 29.53 days (a full cycle around the earth) so the closest time between a solar and lunar eclipse would be half that (14.765 days) or about two weeks.

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.

Please also remember that while the Earth rotates at constant speed, it does not *orbit* the sun in a circular orbit, rather an ellipse.\n\nTherefore, during one part of Earth's journey around the sun the Earth spends less time while orbiting closer to the sun than when farther away.  This would mean that the Earth spent slightly less than 6 months in that section, and slightly more than 6 months when orbiting farther away from the sun.\n\nThe answer to your question is, no, not all points receive the exact same amount of daylight in one year, but the difference is small.

Well, in our case it does. Our town was very much excited when a total solar eclipse more than ten years ago, specifically October 25, 1995. I was a child back then but the hype turned me on and in fact, it was a wonder seeing the moon cover the sun from a colored film strip. It was only worth for a couple of minutes but it was awesome! I could also see that the sky became darker a bit. Much like a once in a lifetime affair.

WTF? It wasn't a yes or no question.\n\nYellowstone has a recurrance interval of 600,000 years.  That the average time between eruptions.  It's been 640,000 years since the last eruption.  However, don't get too excited, the standard deviation is HUGE.  On geologic time(10,000 yrs) there's a decent chance of eruption.  On human time (the next 60 years) there's about zero.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. If the same thing happens where the moon passes through the earth's shadow, that's called a lunar eclipse.

Lunar eclipse happen more frequently than solar.(earth has a larger shadow then the moon.)
