This is a
list of solar eclipses in the 20th century
. During the period 1901 to 2000 there were 228
solar eclipses
of which 78 were partial, 73 were annular (two
non-central
), 71 were total (three non-central) and 6 were hybrids. The greatest number of eclipses in one year was five, in 1935, and one month, July 2000, had two eclipses.

The table gives the date and time of the greatest eclipse (in
dynamical time
, which in this case is the time when the axis of the Moon's shadow cone passes closest to the centre of Earth).
[4]
It also gives the type of eclipse (either Total, Annular, Partial or Hybrid) and for total and annular eclipses it gives the duration of the eclipse. The location of the greatest eclipse and the path width are also given, as well as the geographical areas affected.
