I love solar eclipses, but they are so rare. Have you seen one?
Yes, they can happen only at new moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction
Is there a specific time of year they happen most?
Depends on the location of the earth and which year it is. It mostly happens during the new moon.
Is there anything else interesting you know about them?
If the new Moon were in a perfectly circular orbit, a little closer to the Earth, and in the same orbital plane, there would be total solar eclipses every new moon.
Neat! How often do total solar eclipse's happen?
2-4 times a year on average. During a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. It's so cool.
