Why is it relatively rare to observe a solar eclipse

Biology

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.

The solar eclipse may only be able to be seen in one area, and that is totally normal. Traveling at such a fast speed not many would be able to. So, the velocity and speed it is going at does have a play in this matter ⇒ :)

<h3>What is Genotype?</h3>

An organism's genotype is made up of all of its genetic components. The alleles or variations that a person holds in a specific gene or genetic region are also referred to as the genotype.

The amount of copies of each chromosomes found in that species, also known as ploidy, determines how many alleles a person can have for a certain gene. In diploid organisms like humans, there are two complete sets of chromosomes, which means that each person has two different alleles for each gene. Homozygous refers to a genotype where both alleles are the same. Heterozygous refers to a genotype when there are two distinct alleles.

Phenotype, the observable qualities and attributes of an individual or creature, is influenced by genotype.

Read the Mungo Lady and Mungo Man Do others in the field of anthropology agree with Dr. Thorne's view? Explain.
sweet [91]
I've read the story back a couple months ago

Actually, there are many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. Thorne's view. Basically, Thorne strongly believes that what many calls Homo erectus was, in fact, Homo sapiens, and that they migrated out of Africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout Europe and Asia. That would actually be very different from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species. That is why many of them are against him)

I hope I helped :)
