Solar eclipses happen twice a year or so. The problem is that the geometry is a little touchy; if it isn't just so, you won't get a total eclipse, but only a partial eclipse.
And the area of the Earth affected by the solar eclipse is very small; a path about 100 miles wide and a few thousand miles long. Since 75% of the Earth's surface is water, a lot of eclipses aren't visible on land at all.
NASA's Eclipse web page will let you see when each eclipse will occur, and where.

There are two main types of eclipses: solar and lunar. Lunar eclipses occur every 6 months. Solar eclipses occur 2-5 times per year. Eclipses can be partial or total. Partial eclipse covers only part of the sun or moon, while total covers the full entity.
Total lunar eclipses always occur?
No. About 50% of all lunar eclipses are total; the remainder are partial or penumbral.
What is the only lunar phases in which a lunar eclipse can occus?
Lunar eclipses can only occur at the full moon.
How many times a year does a lunar eclipse occur?
Total lunar eclipses occur between 0-3 times per year.
Partial lunar eclipses occur more often than total eclipses?
Yes

When can Eclipses of the Moon occur?
Lunar eclipses occur precisely at the full moon.
How often would solar and lunar eclipses occur?
i believe evry 1oo years but I'm not sure
When lunar and solar eclipses occur?
Every year
Do lunar eclipses occur on other planets?
Yes.
Why do solar and lunar clips occur?
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon is in the direct path between the Sun and Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is in the direct path between the Sun and the Moon.
What is the only lunar phases in which a lunar eclipse can occus?
Lunar eclipses can only occur at the full moon.
How many times a year does a lunar eclipse occur?
Total lunar eclipses occur between 0-3 times per year.
