How many times did a solar eclipse happen in the world in the past 100 years and what countries did it happen in?
There are solar eclipses every year, and nearly every country has seen one at one point or another, so it is difficult to answer your question. There are many types of eclipses, from ones where only part of the sun is covered, known as a partial eclipse, to ones where the entire sun is covered, known as a total eclipse. A total solar eclipse happens about once every 18 months somewhere in the world. When a total eclipse does occur many countries will see it, and many other countries experience a partial eclipse. A total eclipse in the same place occurs on average about once in every 370 years.
Why are total solar eclipse a rare phenomenon?
On average there are as many solar eclipses as there are lunar ones. But each lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, while a solar eclipse can only be seen from a relatively small strip of the Earth's surface. So in any one place it seems that solar eclipses are rare.
How many years does it take for a solar eclipse to come round?

Why dont many people see a solar eclipse when it occurs?

How many years apart are the lunar and the solar eclipse?
Lunar and solar eclipses can occur within a few weeks of each other or up to two weeks apart. This is because they are both tied to the cycles of the Moon, but the specific type and timing of each eclipse depend on various factors, resulting in variable separations between lunar and solar eclipses.
