There can be as many as seven eclipses (solar plus lunar) in any one year. In 1935 there were five solar eclipses - four partial and one annular. On average, there is a total solar eclipse visible somewhere about every 18 months. However, from any one location on Earth, total eclipses take place on average only once in several hundred years.
A solar eclipse always occurs two weeks after or two weeks before a total lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can last for a maximum of 3 hours and 40 minutes, with the period of totality lasting for as long as I hour and 40 minutes. Solar eclipses can last for a maximum of 7 minutes and 40 seconds if they are total (at the equator), 12 minutes and 24 seconds at most if they are annular. Lunar eclipses can never happen more than three times a year. Solar eclipses happen at least twice a year but never more than five times a year.
