Answer:
Rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction because Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.
Rolling Friction example: Anything with weels (cars,skateboards) or a ball rooling.
Sliding Friction example: Bicycle brakes,skinning your knee walking,writing.
Because the tip of the moon's shadow ... the area of "totality" ... is never more than a couple hundred miles across, It never covers a single place for more than 7 minutes, and can never stay on the Earth's surface for more than a few hours altogether during one eclipse.
If you're not inside that small area, you don't see a total eclipse.
