The Solar eclipses have been incorporated in diverse ways into the myths, beliefs, and customs of cultures through many centuries. The solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, so that the sun is fully or partially covered. The Least Square Method was used to investigate the statistical study of the solar eclipses during four centuries (1600 ? 2000). We found that the percentage ratio for partial solar eclipse is 35.707%, while the percentage ratio for the annular solar eclipse is 31.166%, and the percentage ratio for total and hybrid solar eclipses are 26.522% and 6.605% respectively. The General Linear Trend formula for predicting the types of the future eclipses was obtained and determined for every solar eclipse during next 100 years (2001-2100). Our results are in a good agreement with that published by NASA.
