There are three types of solar eclipses: a total solar eclipse, an annular solar eclipse, and a partial solar eclipse.
There can be two to five solar eclipses each year, depending on the geometry of the sun, moon, and earth.
The longest amount of time that a solar eclipse can last is only seven and a half minutes.
If there are planets in the sky during a solar eclipse, they can be seen as points of light in the sky.
The longest solar eclipse of the century was on July 22 over India, Napal, Bhutan, and China. It lasted six minutes and twenty-seven seconds.
Watching an eclipse with a naked eye is extremely dangerous and will harm your vision, it can also potentially make you blind.
