Are total solar eclipses visible from anywhere on the earth? Explain?
Question:
Answer:
No, only partial eclipses are visible from the poles. For any given eclipse, totality can only be seen along the narrow path taken by the moon's shadow, called the path of totality. To either side there's a wider path where a partial eclipse is visible.
At some point, yes.
But a single solar eclipse is visible only from one spot on the Earth. Most obviously, half the Earth is going to be having night while it is going on. As for the rest, different viewing angles will mean they will see only partial eclipses, if anything.
No, totality can only be seen along the narrow spot of moon's shadow, called the path of totality. To either side there's a wider path where a partial eclipse is visible. Outside that path, you won't even see a partial eclipse
