On average, a total solar eclipse will occur in any given location on Earth once every 375 years. Partial solar eclipses happen more frequently, but the exact frequency can vary depending on the specific region. The last total solar eclipse visible in Britain was in 1999, and the next one will not be until 2090.
No, annular eclipses do not happen every year. They occur when the Moon is farthest from Earth, making it appear smaller and not fully cover the Sun during the eclipse. This alignment is not a regular occurrence, so annular eclipses happen less frequently than total solar eclipses.
A solar and lunar eclipse do not occur every month because the orbits of the Earth and the Moon are tilted relative to each other by about 5 degrees. Eclipses can only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align closely, which occurs during specific times known as eclipse seasons, roughly every six months. During these periods, if the alignment is right, a solar eclipse (when the Moon covers the Sun) or a lunar eclipse (when the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon) can take place. Thus, while eclipses can happen multiple times a year, they do not occur every month.
Pick any year that has a solar eclipse, and there's a darn good chancethat there'll be one 370 years later.There are typically 1 - 4 of them every year.In the 100 years from 1901 to 1000, there were 228 solar eclipses,for an average of 2.28 per year.
A solar eclipse can only happen at new moon - but they don't happen at every new moon.

a solar eclipse happens about every 6000 days, way more than a year.

On average, total solar eclipses happen around once every 18 months somewhere on Earth. However, a total solar eclipse is only visible from any specific location on Earth about once every 375 years.
Yes. There are 1 to 3 solar eclipses ... and the same number of lunar ones ... on the average every year.
They do happen in every state of the USA, you just have to wait for them. Lunar eclipses can be seen from half the Earth (the dark half), so you see more lunar eclipses than solar ones, which are just as frequent but can only be seen from a relatively small area of the Earth's surface.
Every Year.
yes there was

The next North American total solar eclipse will happen 21 August 2017. The next annular solar eclipse will happen 20 May 2012.
