According to Google, a total eclipse (when you can just see the sun's ring) occurs only "once every 18 months. To see one requires you to be in just the right place on earth, and a total eclipse in the same location only happens every 375 years on average".
An eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, causing the satellite to cover the sun, briefly blocking the sunlight. Only if you're standing right in the centre of the moon's shadow on Earth, then you will get to experience totality, which is some moments of total darkness during the day.
