A booklet I got on the eclipse said this: "If natural wonders were on a scale of 1 to 10, a partial solar eclipse might be a '''7''', but a total solar eclipse would be a '''1,000,000!!!'''" They were right. I was there.

Is it worth having an "2017 Total Eclipse" tag for the 5 comics?

:Yes. Be sure it includes the other comics that mentioned the eclipse, like [[1868: Eclipse Flights]]. [[User:Dretler|Dretler]] ([[User talk:Dretler|talk]]) 12:37, 23 August 2017 (UTC) | :Yes.

Here's a Whatif topic: What if the earth's orbit around the sun and the moon's orbit around the earth were in the same plane so that a solar eclipse happened every month. How would that affect tides, global temperature, animal behavior, etc? Would the orbits be stable or would the gravitational tugs destabilize the orbits?

− | :Solar eclipse does not affect tides significantly more than the regular movement of the Moon and the Sun, those non-eclipse events where the Moon passes almost in front of the Sun actually make tides somewhat higher on that day, because forces sum up, but a fraction of angular degree misalignment which cases a "miss" does not make much difference for the tides. The effect of blocking the Sun's radiation during eclipse happens over a very small area and for a short time therefore it is too minuscule to affect temperature on Earth, normal Sun activity cycle creates a ''lot'' larger differences in the amount of energy reaching Earth.

Animal behavior during eclipse may be a little different if it was a more frequent event, animals (including two-legged naked apes) would just get used to it. -- [[Special:Contributions/162.158.202.10|162.158.202.10]] 14:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC) |
