Why do you think lunar eclipses can be seen from a large part of the Earth when they happen, but total solar eclipse can be seen by only a small part of the Earth? Class 7

Answer:

Lunar eclipses are visible from a larger part of the Earth because the Earth's shadow is large, and it covers a wide area. Lunar eclipses can be seen on night time of the Earth. A total solar eclipse, however, is visible only from a small part of the Earth because the Moon's shadow is much smaller and narrower. The people in the specific region of Earth can see Solar eclipse.
