The Saros cycle is 18 years 11 1/3 days. Because of this 1/3 day means that the earth is 8 hours further along in its rotation than it was at the start of that cycle. the area previously facing the sun is now facing away.
<h3>Why don't total solar eclipses occur in the same places?</h3>- When the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth, it causes a solar eclipse. They do not occur every month because the Earth's orbit around the sun does not coincide with the Moon's orbit around the Earth.
- The total solar eclipse of March 20, 2015 is part of the Saros 120 eclipse family. A Saros series is a collection of eclipses that are separated by 6,585.3 days from the next (or previous) eclipse.
- This equates to 18 years, 10 days, and 8 hours. The Saros period is unique in that any two eclipses separated by one Saros are very similar.
- The moon is nearly at the same position in relation to its node (the point at which the moon's orbit intersects Earth's orbit) and is also nearly the same distance from Earth. Furthermore, the eclipse occurs at nearly the same time of year.
- Three of the moon's orbital periods repeat after one Saros period of 18 years 10.3 days, resulting in these coincidences. The three periods are as follows:
