There are generally, on average, two solar eclipses per year. Sometimes there are
fewer. In 2011, there will be 4 partial solar eclipses (and two total lunar ones.
Sometimes there are more; the maximum possible would be five. But on average,
two per year.
Of these solar eclipses, about 25% are total and 25% are annular, with the remainder being partial.
Lunar eclipses also occur, on average, twice a year. Roughly half are total; the remainder are partial or penumbral.
During the 100 years of the 20th Century (1901 - 2000), there were 228 solar eclipses
and 229 lunar ones, for an average of about 2.3 per year. Any one year may have 2 - 5 of each.
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Because solar eclipses cover a very narrow stripe across the Earth, solar eclipses SEEM TO BE rare - in one particular location. There can be several CENTURIES between total solar eclipses in the same spot. On the other hand, it can be just a few years. There's a town in Illinois that will have two total solar eclipses only 8 years apart, in 2017 and 2024.
The answer very much depends on the year. One calendar year has a minimum of four eclipses, which are two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. A year can have as many as seven eclipses. So each year is different.
Yes, there have been many solar eclipses.
Solar eclipses on Jupiter occur much more frequently than on Earth due to its many moons casting shadows on the planet. On average, there can be multiple solar eclipses every day on Jupiter as the large number of moons with varying orbital planes constantly create opportunities for eclipses to happen.
There are two general types of Eclipse. They are Solar(Sun) and Lunar(Moon). Each of these eclipses can then be further classified into Total or Partial. Total is where the obscuring body completely blocks light from the third body. Partial is where the obscuring body only covers part of the third body.
There are typically between 2 to 7 eclipses each year, which can be a combination of solar and lunar eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, while lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.

About two per year, since the Moon formed. So, around 4000 solar eclipses (and 4000 lunar eclipses) since the year 1. You can check the list of all eclipses since the year 2000 BC on the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.
Yes, there have been many solar eclipses.
On average, we can expect two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in any year. 2010 will have four eclipses, right on the average.
There are typically two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes, depending on the precise alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon, we'll see two "partial" or "penumbral" eclipses instead of one "total" eclipse. The NASA Eclipse Web Site lists details on all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD; you can look up all the eclipses from 2020 to 3000, and estimate how many there will be from 3000 to 3020 based on that.

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.
