They do actually appear the same size in the sky though, which is why we get perfect eclipses. The Moon is slowly getting further away from Earth so it won’t be forever. We’re just in a lucky moment of time in the universe.
A pretty rare coincidence. I’ve read that if there was a thing like interstellar tourism, the earth would be quite popular for the solar eclipses, as it’s very rare that the size of the moon (in perspective) covers the sun exactly.
Nah they mean observing from the surface of say the moon and seeing earth block the sun.
I think this is a fairly common occurrence, but you wouldn’t get the same effect since the shadow would cover the entire surface and lack of atmosphere you wouldn’t get the sunset in all directions look.

welp to buy some real estate real quick before this interstellar tourism boom shoots up the prices
What about planets blocking the sun from moons?
Planets are like pinheads in comparison.

Titan has an atmosphere but it would be completely covered
