No, solar eclipses happen about twice a year. (Sometimes instead of one "real" eclipse, we get two "partial" eclipses.) You can look up the dates and locations of solar eclipses starting with the year 2000 BC and going to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse web site (linked below).

How is a solar eclipse different then from a lunner eclipse?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light either partially or completely. In contrast, a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth’s shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses can only be seen from specific locations on Earth, while lunar eclipses can be viewed from anywhere on the night side of the Earth. Additionally, solar eclipses occur during the day, whereas lunar eclipses take place at night.


How is a solar eclipse formed?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. There are different types of solar eclipses, including total, partial, and annular, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Solar eclipses are rare events that can only be seen from specific locations on Earth.


How are solar eclipses possible?

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. This alignment only happens during the New Moon phase when the three celestial bodies are in a straight line. There are different types of solar eclipses, including total, partial, and annular, depending on the alignment and position of the Moon.
