'I’m an astronomer and here are my top tips to watch the next solar eclipse'
3) What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
Prof Gibson said: "A solar eclipse is when the Moon lies between the Sun and Earth, and blocks some of the light from reaching the Earth."In that case, the Earth blocks some of the light from the Sun reaching the Moon – in others words, the shadow of the Earth is cast over the Moon."There are several lunar and solar eclipses across the globe every year, meaning they aren't all that uncommon.
"They’re not as rare as you might think," Prof Gibson said. "There are 2-5 solar eclipses each year, and the same number of lunar eclipses. "If you're willing to travel , you don’t have to wait longer than a few months for an eclipse to be seen somewhere on Earth!"Brit stargazers have a little while to wait until the next solar eclipse, while those elsewhere have a shorter wait.
