Does the annular eclipse happen every year?
In general, at least two to five solar eclipses happen every year. However, annular eclipses rarely happen. The latest annular solar eclipse happened in April 29, 2014.
What occurs more often- a partial solar eclipse or total solar eclipse?
Partial 35.3%Annular 33.2%Total 26.7%Hybrid 4.8% As you can see from the table above, partial eclipses are most common, followed by annular eclipses. Total solar eclipses are barely more than one-quarter of the total. Total eclipses occur when the Moon is close enough to the Earth for the umbra, the cone of total shadow, to hit the Earth. Annular eclipses occur when the Moon is so far away that the umbra does not reach all the way to the Earth. "Hybrid" eclipses occur when the Moon crosses the dividing line between total and annular DURING the eclipse, so that the eclipse begins as annular and changes to total, or vice versa, during the eclipse.
What is the max number of solar eclipses in a year?
Five is the theoretical maximum number of solar eclipses in one calendar year; generally 4 partial eclipses and one total or annular eclipse. This configuration happens about every 200 years or so. Interestingly, there will be four solar eclipses in 2011; all will be partial eclipses, visible (if at all) only from polar regions. The last time there were five solar eclipses in a year was in 1935; the next time will be in 2206.
What is the moon phase during an annular eclipse?
An ANNULAR Eclipse only occurs at a NEW MOON. An annular eclipse is a 'ring' of sunlight around the Black Lunar Disc.
When a total solar eclipse will come to Texas?
Not in our lifetimes. There will be several partial or annular eclipses visible from Texas in the 21st Century, but there will be no total eclipses visible in Texas within the next 100 years.

Why isn't there annular eclipse?
There are. There aren't annular LUNAR eclipses.
What year will te next solar eclipse happen?
There are generally between two and five solar eclipses every year. Half or so will be partial or penumbral eclipses, and half of the rest will be annular, meaning that about one quarter of all solar eclipses are total. In 2011, there are four partial solar eclipses. The first was on January 4; the next will be on June 10.

When is the 2013 solar eclipse?
Solar Eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and directly blocks the light of the Sun. Because the Moon is located between the Sun and Earth the dark side of the Moon is facing Earth and is in a New Moon Phase. An Annular Solar Eclipse is a solar eclipse in which the Moon's antumbral shadow traverses Earth (the Moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun). During the maximum phase of an annular eclipse, the Sun appears as a blindingly bright ring surrounding the Moon. An annular eclipse will be visible in Australia, New Zealand, and the Central Pacific on May 10, 2013. A hybrid solar eclipse is a solar eclipse in which the Moon's umbral and antumbral shadows traverse Earth (the eclipse appears annular and total along different sections of its path). Hybrid eclipses are also known as annular-total eclipses. In most cases, hybrid eclipses begin as annular, transform into total, and then revert back to annular before the end of their track. In rare instances, a hybrid eclipse may begin as annular and end total, or vice versa. A hybrid eclipse will be visible in the Eastern Americas, Southern Europse, and Africa occur on November 3, 2012.
Were there any eclipses in the year 1999?
There are, on average, two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. In 1999, there was an annular solar eclipse on February 16, and a total solar eclipse on August 11. For lunar eclipses, there was a penumbral lunar eclipse on January 21 and a partial lunar eclipse on July 16. You can look up all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse web page.
Will an eclipses occur when the moon is in between the sun and the earth?
yes, a solar eclipse. depending on how high or low or far or close the moon is, it could be an annular solar eclipse, partial, or total
Why are solar eclipse less common then patial solar eclipse?
I presume you are asking why Total Solar Eclipses are less common than Partial Solar Eclipses. The reason for this is that the moon's shadow does not completely cover the Earth when eclipsing the sun. It covers just a a narrow corridor across the Earth's surface. This mean's that when there is a total solar eclipse, you have to be in the right place at the right time on earth to see it. Whereas a much wider area of Earth will only witness a partial eclipse during the event. The moon also sometimes is slightly further away from the Earth during some solar eclipses (due to it's slightly elliptical orbit). The moon will look slightly smaller than the sun and this results in an Annular Solar Eclipse where the outer edges of the sun manage to shine around the moon creating a 'ring' effect. Annular solar eclipses are slghtly more common than Total Solar Eclipses. Partial Solar Eclipses are the most common in any one place on Earth.
Were there any eclipses in 1998?
There are typically two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Now, let me look up 1998.....There was a total solar eclipse on February 26, 1998 visible in the northernmost tip of South America, and an annular solar eclipse on August 22, visible along a path through Malaysia and Indonesia.There were three penumbral lunar eclipses, on March 13, August 8 and September 6.
