The 2009 solar eclipse appeared after how many years?

What happens if the moons shadow falls on the Earth?
In that case, a Solar Eclipse occurs. It can be a partial or total eclipse depending on the positions at the time of the eclipse. In total Solar Eclipses, the sun is completely blocked out for a short time in some parts of the world. Likewise, Earth's shadow falling on the Moon is known as a lunar eclipse.
How many times did a solar eclipse happen in the world in the past 100 years and what countries did it happen in?
There are solar eclipses every year, and nearly every country has seen one at one point or another, so it is difficult to answer your question. There are many types of eclipses, from ones where only part of the sun is covered, known as a partial eclipse, to ones where the entire sun is covered, known as a total eclipse. A total solar eclipse happens about once every 18 months somewhere in the world. When a total eclipse does occur many countries will see it, and many other countries experience a partial eclipse. A total eclipse in the same place occurs on average about once in every 370 years.
