Solar eclipses happen a few times every year, but total eclipses are rarer, occurring approximately once every 18 months. Moreover, a specific location on Earth only experiences a total solar eclipse once every 400 years. Given that much of the Earth is covered by water and a significant portion of land is uninhabited, witnessing a total solar eclipse is a rare occurrence for many people.
