List of solar eclipses of the 20th century

Total solar eclipse on August 11, 1999 , recorded in France

This list contains all solar eclipses of the 20th century that could be observed from Earth, including those with only partial visibility.

overview

228 solar eclipses occurred, which is less than the long-term average of 238 solar eclipses per century. In 79 years there were only two eclipses, which is the minimum possible number. The theoretical maximum of five eclipses was reached in 1935, there were four eclipses each in 1917, 1946, 1964, 1982 and 2000. There were two eclipses within one month in July 2000.

The following table contains the number of solar eclipses in the 20th century differentiated according to the different types of eclipses :

Art	number	of which central	of which not central
Total	071	068	03
Ring-shaped	073	071	02
Hybrid	006th	006th	00
Partially	078	-	78
total	228	145	83

Both the longest total and the longest annular eclipse took place in 1955: The longest total solar eclipse on June 20 had a maximum total duration of 7 minutes and 8 seconds. The longest ring-shaped was on December 14th, the ring-shaped phase lasted a maximum of 12 minutes and 9 seconds.

Legend

The following table contains all solar eclipses of the 20th century. It contains the following columns:

• Time : The times are in terrestrial time (TT). At the beginning of the century TT and Universal Time (UT) were almost the same, at the end of the century the difference between TT and UT was 64 seconds ( ΔT ).
• Type : Possible types are total , ring-shaped , hybrid and partial .
• Saros : The number of the Saros cycle to which the darkness belongs. If the number is odd, the eclipse takes place near an ascending lunar node , if it is even, it occurs at a descending one.
• Gamma : The gamma value of a solar eclipse , i.e. H. the smallest distance of the shadow axis from the center of the earth.
• Size : The maximum size of the eclipse as defined by NASA .
• Duration : Is the duration of the total or ring-shaped phase of the eclipse at the place where the axis of the umbra of the moon is closest to the center of the earth ( Greatest Eclipse ). As a rule, this corresponds to the longest duration of the eclipse.
• Path width : The width of the path of the umbra or the zone of the ring-shaped eclipse during the Greatest Eclipse (see duration) in kilometers. In total eclipses, this value corresponds almost to the maximum width of the umbra.
• Visibility Area : Areas where the solar eclipse can be seen. In the case of total, hybrid or ring-shaped eclipses, initially including the areas with partial visibility, then the areas with total or ring-shaped visibility separately. In the case of such eclipses, a web link is also included before the enumeration of the areas with ring-shaped or total visibility , which calls up a page from NASA to display the eclipse path.
