All Solar Eclipses involve the Moon passing between the Earth and the Sun, and casting a shadow on the Earth. These are more rare than the other types of Solar Eclipse. On average there are four eclipses during a year. Two of these are Solar, coinciding with the New Moon, and two are Lunar, when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon and its shadow obscures the Moon. The eclipses work together - two weeks pass between a Solar and a Lunar eclipse and they occur about six months apart.
Eclipses can affect world events.
For example, major events happened during eclipses in the lifetime of Diana, Princess of Wales - her marriage, the birth of Prince William, her divorce, and also her death.
