Q&A: When will there be the next couple solar eclipses?

Question by : When will there be the next couple solar eclipses?
I love astronomy, and I REALLY want to see a solar eclipse before I die. When will the next couple of solar eclipses be in America? I live in New Jersey and I heard the next one here will be in 2079!

BQ: Can you tell a difference between a total and partial solar eclipse?


Best answer:
Answer by India104the next one is on the 22th of July near the ocean, or in the middle of it! but it can be viewed from Chile,.\ But in America there will be a solar eclipse near the north of Kentucky on August the 21
--the difference between a partial and total eclipse is:

Unfortunately, not every eclipse of the Sun is a total eclipse. Sometimes, the Moon is too small to cover the entire Sun's disk. To understand why, we need to talk about the Moon's orbit around Earth. That orbit is not perfectly round but is oval or elliptical in shape. As the Moon orbits our planet, it's distance varies from about 221,000 to 252,000 miles. This 13% variation in the Moon's distance makes the Moon's apparent size in our sky vary by the same amount. When the Moon is on the near side of its orbit, the Moon appears larger than the Sun. If an eclipse occurs at that time, it will be a total eclipse. However, if an eclipse occurs while the Moon is on the far side of its orbit, the Moon appears smaller than the Sun and can't completely cover it. Looking down from space, we would see that the Moon's umbra shadow is not long enough to reach Earth. Instead, the antumbra shadow reaches Earth.
