A solar eclipse has many superstitions attached to it. Most commonly it is supposed to foretell the death of great people; as in the Roman emperor Nero and Catherine of Aragon.
The eclipse was also thought to precede or foretell a great and usually tragic event., such as the Black Death of 1348 or the 1914 start of the First World War.
There are many who believe the end of the world will be heralded by a solar eclipse.
In ancient times it was believed some form of evil spirit was responsible for the sun "going away" and people would bang pots and set off fireworks and make loud noises to frighten away the "spirit" and bring back the sun.

Do superstitious beliefs about meteors have scientific basis?
You are confusing a couple of concepts. NO superstitious belief has a scientific basis. If a belief is scientifically based, there is no need to call it a superstition. If a belief is superstitious it is by definition not verifiable scientifically. However, there are superstitions that result from some real events. Total eclipses of the sun are real, and they are explainable in completely natural terms. However, people at different times in history have superstitious beliefs about what is happening during an eclipse, and superstitious beliefs that performing certain rituals or prayers during an eclipse will save the world from doom. So, a superstition is an irrational belief usually connected to some magical ritual that will ward off disaster, and some superstitions have to do with real events in the world. But the superstitions themselves are not based in or verified by the real world.
