During the 100-year period from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and
229 lunar eclipses. On the average, that's 2.28 or 2.29 of each kind, for every year,
but in in individual year, it can be as many as 4.
that is true
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.
Typically, lunar eclipses occur once or twice a year. Because more than half of all lunar eclipses are partial, and because lunar eclipses are visible only from the side of the Earth where the Moon is up, you would generally be able to see a total lunar eclipse every other year or every 3rd year from your location. The rest of the eclipses would be either partial, or not visible from your location. You can check the NASA Eclipse Web Page to see the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD at the link below.
A lunar eclipse can occur multiple times a year, but the frequency can vary. On average, there are about two to four lunar eclipses each year. Lunar eclipses can be partial, total, or penumbral, with total eclipses being less common.

there are at least two lunar eclipses in a year
There are typically between 2 to 7 eclipses each year, which can be a combination of solar and lunar eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, while lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.
The answer very much depends on the year. One calendar year has a minimum of four eclipses, which are two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. A year can have as many as seven eclipses. So each year is different.
Total solar eclipses are rare events. Although they occur somewhere on Earth every 18 months on average, it has been estimated that they recur at any given planly once every 370 years, on average.
A equinox occur's only about 2 times a year.
On average, there are about 2-4 lunar eclipses each year. These can vary in type, with some being total eclipses and others being partial or penumbral eclipses.
No. During the 5000-year period 2000 BCE to 3000 CE, there have been / will be a total of 12,064 lunar eclipses ... an average of about 2.4 per year. During the 10-year period 2001 to 2010, there are 24 lunar eclipses ... also 2.4 per year. There were 3 lunar eclipses in 2001, and 4 lunar eclipses in 2009. December 21, 2010 is/was the second lunar eclipse of 2010. So over the long term, you're looking at between 2 and 3 lunar eclipses every year.
