Thislist of solar eclipse visible from the Philippines enumerates the solar eclipse that have been and will be seen over the Philippines.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. Eclipses can betotal,annular, orpartial.
Atotal solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness for a brief moment in time. While anannular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). These central eclipses occurs only in a narrow path across Earth's surface. Apartial solar eclipse, on the other hand, is visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide in areas where the non-central shadow falls.
Southeast Asia gets a moderate numbersolar eclipse events, however not every country will get to experience the same type of eclipse since the path of totality is only thin compared to the vastness of earth's surface. For example, atotal solar eclipse fromIndonesia may only appear as partial from thePhilippines if the path of totality misses the archipelago.
Due to its location and relatively small size, a view of totality within thePhilippines is a rare experience. There are only 7 recorded events from the 20th century in which the central path ofsolar eclipse crosses the official territory[1] and predictions suggest that the frequency of occurrence will be the close to that amount for the 21st century.[2]
