Dist of Moon from Earth & Earth/Moon from Sun varies. Sometimes bit nearer, bit closer. Thats why we get Annular (not Total) and Total eclipses. Over history, the Moon is slowly moving from Earth then Total eclipses will no more. Not mysterious. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(2-0-5) Author

NNN The post is about the coincidence of Sun-Moon size/distance ratios - Moon being 400 times smaller, 400 times closer-, not the occurrence of eclipses. In other planets, sun is farther, moons are much closer to the planet and smaller, so ratios do not coincide. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(2-1-0) Author

The claim is right they do appear to have the same size, just some solar eclipses are annular because the Earth and Moon have elliptical orbits. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-0-0) Author
