Condo vs. Townhouse. A condominium, or condo, is a type of housing wherein a very specific part of a larger property â almost always an apartment within a complex â is privately owned by the homeowner, while all other connecting areas of the complex are communally owned by all condo residents.
This year is my chance â and yours. The eclipse path is 60 miles wide. You need to be inside that band to see totality â towards the middle gives a longer eclipse. More details are at the end of this post.
Because the area on Earth that's inside the tip of the moon's shadow is. usually only a couple of hundred miles wide at most, and it's moving along. the Earth's surface at thousands of miles an hour, and only the people who. happen to be inside that little area see the total solar eclipse. Over a substantial period of time, the numbers of solar and lunar eclipses are equal. For example, during the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 128 solar eclipses, and 129 lunar ones. The difference is that during a lunar eclipse, everybody on the night side of Earth can see it, but during a solar one, you have to be in just the right place on the day side. Another way to look at it: A lunar eclipse happens on the Moon, and anybody who can see the Moon can see the eclipse. But a solar eclipse happens on the Earth, and in order to see it, you have to be where the eclipse is.
