Isn't that only true the other way around? The earth is bigger than the moon, so I'd think sometimes you'd get a total lunar eclipse when there's only a partial corresponding solar eclipse, and diddly when there's only a partial lunar eclipse.



Oh, I don't mean exactly the same magnitude of eclipse -- just that whether annular/partial/etc, if there is a lunar eclipse, there will generally be a solar eclipse (of any type).
