∙ 10y agoThere are typically between 2 and 4 solar eclipses (of all types) in a year.
In fact, the average is close to 2.4 per year.
There must be at least 2 each year.
Rarely, we can get 5 in one year.
There is a total eclipse about 2 times in every 3 years. Of course total eclipses can only be seen from a small area of the Earth.
So, at any particular place they are quite rare.
