There is the total Eclipse, where the moon totally covers the sun. Then there is a partial eclipse, where the moon passes across the sun, but not right through the middle - so we just see a 'bite' out of the sun at most. Then there is an annular eclipse, where the moon goes directly in front of the sun, but the distance is such that it is not able to cover the sun completely - the moon appears too small and the sun shines around it to make a ring. There is also a hybrid, which is where at some points on earth a total eclipse may be seen, but in other locations an annular eclipse may be seen. These are all four types of solar eclipse, there is also the lunar eclipse where the earth obscures light to the moon.

How Many General Types Of Eclipses Are There?
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.

How often do eclipses naturally occur?
There are two main types of eclipses: solar and lunar. Lunar eclipses occur every 6 months. Solar eclipses occur 2-5 times per year. Eclipses can be partial or total. Partial eclipse covers only part of the sun or moon, while total covers the full entity.
How many eclipses are there in a calendar year?
