how many years between solar eclipses
In the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones. So over a long period of time, that's an average of roughly 2.3 of each kind every yearâ¦. There are typically 2 or 3 of each kind every year. But some years have only one, and occasionally there can be a year with as many as five.
