Abstract
This paper presents a brief overview of works dedicated to the studies of solar coronal holes (CH). Special attention is paid to CH studies at millimeter and centimeter wavelengths. The observational data in the millimeter range, combined with satellite observations in the ultraviolet and soft X-ray range, as well as solar eclipse observations of March 29, 2006, at centimeter wavelengths with RATAN-600, provide new results for understanding the physical nature of coronal holes on the Sun.
