Question

Partial eclipse are frequent why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Partial solar eclipses happen when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, but the Moon only partially covers the Sun's disk. ... During a partial solar eclipse, the Moon, the Sun and Earth don't align in a perfectly straight line, and the Moon casts only the outer part of its shadow, the penumbra, on Earth.

Answer 2

Partial eclipse are frequent because -

• The partial eclipse is caused when the moon comes between the sun and the earth.

• Now,a partial eclipse doesn't demand the perfect alignment of the sun,earth,and moon in a proper straight line.

• Now,the proper straight line alignment is rare than the improper straight line alignment of the partial eclipse.

• That's why the partial eclipse are more frequent than the full eclipse.
