Which is the longest solar eclipse up to date?

Question

Ther a number of total solar ecipses.there must be a longest duration of some.

Answer 1

they are the same

Answer 2

The longest solar eclipses are the "Annular" eclipses - when the moon is the furthest away from Earth, it's moving slower in it's orbit.  They're called "annular" because, being further away, the moon doesn't quite cover the solar disk, and a bright ring of the sun is visible.

Answer 3

The longest theoretical duration of a total eclipse is 7 minutes, 31 seconds. During the 5000 years from -1999 to +3000, the longest total eclipse is 7 minutes 29 seconds on 16th July 2186.

Answer 4

All solar eclipses have the same duration.

Answer 5

Eclipses of the Sun can only occur during the New Moon phase. It is then possible for the Moon's penumbral, umbral or antumbral shadows to sweep across Earth's surface thereby producing an eclipse.

The longest central[3] solar eclipses of this period are:

Longest  Total  Solar Eclipse:    2186 Jul 16      Duration = 07m29s

Longest Annular Solar Eclipse:    0150 Dec 07      Duration = 12m24s

Longest  Hybrid Solar Eclipse:   -0979 Aug 12      Duration = 01m49s

The following catalogs contain predictions for the longest total, annular and hybrid solar eclipses occurring during the ten millennium period -3999 to 6000 (4000 BCE to 6000 CE). The longest eclipses during this period are arranged into 1000 year long tables for total, annular and hybrid solar eclipses. For total eclipses, all events are listed with durations exceeding 6 minutes. For annular eclipses, all events are listed with durations exceeding 10 minutes. For hybrid eclipses, all events are listed with durations exceeding 1 minute. There are also three special tables listing the very longest total (> 7 minutes), annular (>11 minutes) and hybrid (>1 minute 30 seconds) eclipses. Each table includes the following information.
