Neil Degrasse Tyson:
Yes, so we have a fortunate set of circumstances as Earthlings.
No other planet has this feature. The sun is 400 times farther away from us than the moon is and it's 400 times wider. Those two factors geometrically cancel each other, if you want to think of it that way, so that they look the same size on the sky, making for spectacular eclipses.
