Here's why this range:
* At least two: This is because the Moon orbits the Earth about 13 times per year, and its orbit is slightly tilted compared to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This means the Moon's shadow will cross the Earth at least twice a year.
* Up to five: The actual number can vary depending on the specific alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Sometimes, there can be three or even four solar eclipses in a year.
주목해야 할 중요 : Not all solar eclipses are visible from the same location. A total solar eclipse is only visible from a small area on Earth known as the path of totality.
