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.


Does the annular eclipse happen every year?

No, annular eclipses do not happen every year. They occur when the Moon is farthest from Earth, making it appear smaller and not fully cover the Sun during the eclipse. This alignment is not a regular occurrence, so annular eclipses happen less frequently than total solar eclipses.
