In this paper, the observations and theoretical interpretations of the ionospheric effects of the previous 6 solar eclipses are summarized. The ionospheric observations of solar eclipse effects are made at 18 ionospheric stations of 14 provinces in China. The first one of the 6 solar eclipses occurred, on 20 June 1955, the last one on 18 March 1988. In addition to the ionospheric observations, the observations of Faraday rotation of satellite beacons and the whistlers were made some time during the solar eclipses. They have shown that:(1)The optical eclipse effects on the E and F1 region and the dynamic effect on the F2 region are all quite clear;(2)The values of f0F2 on the eclipse day, comparing with those in the control day, could decrease, increase or remain unchanged;(3)There are either concave or non-concave outline for the curves of the TEC, the values of the TEC on the eclipse day comparing with those in the control day could increase during the solar eclipse.The dynamic characteristics of the F2 region and outer ionosphere during the solar eclipses were also discussed briefly. It is found that striking decrease of the space plasma temperature and the space plasma diffusion along magnetic field lines are main factors of the solar eclipse effects on the F2 region and outer ionosphere, and the plasma diffusion along the magnetic field line over the geomagnetic equator, the fountain effect, the thermospheric wind and position of the zone of the total (annular) solar eclipse are important factors of the ionospheric effects of the solar eclipse on the magnetic equatorial anonaly.
