Solar eclipses can happen anywhere on earth, but if you want to see a total eclipse, you need to go to the far north, because the Earth’s shape and orbit determine the high latitudes and eclipse hotspot. LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: - Annular Eclipse: an eclipse of the sun in which the edge of the sun remains visible as a bright ring around the moon. - Elliptical orbit: when an object moves around another object in an oval shaped path. - Latitude: the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator, usually expressed in degrees and minutes. - Total Eclipse: an eclipse of the sun in which the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun.
