That depends on whither you are observing a partial or total eclipse... but, if you are lucky enough to observe a total solar eclipse, the answer is none. The entirety of the sun will be obscured from sight. A bright border will surround the moon, but the sun will not be visible at all. If it is only a partial solar eclipse, the portion of the sun that remains visible will vary with the percentage of the eclipse.
The next total solar eclipse is due to happen on Nov. 13th 2012... pack your bags for Australia if you want to see it.
