Answer 2

There are at least 2 solar eclipses that 'hit' the earth EVERY year -- sometimes 3. Not all of these eclipses are total, some are partial, some are annular. And most importantly, none of them are visible to all parts of the earth all the time.

Just because there is an eclipse of the sun, doesn't mean that it is visible on the whole earth -- only people in a small portion of the earth get to witness it, and if it occurs over an ocean, then it is even harder to witness (you have to be on a boat, or an island that the eclipse passes over).

What the others said, above is good information, too.

Answer 3

When can I see the next TOTAL solar eclipse from North America?
The NASA Eclipse site http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/solar.html will show you the eclipse nearest your location. The next TOTAL solar eclipse in North America occurs on August 1, 2008 but it will only be visible from northern Canada (Nunavut). The next TOTAL solar eclipse visible from the United States occurs on August 21, 2017. The track goes from Washington State, and exits on the east coast near the Carolinas. In the mean time there will be lots of LUNAR eclipses to entertain us

Answer 4
