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.

No they do not. They don't because the moon tilts a little bit every time it orbits. So usually it is not in Earths shadow during a full moon. But sometimes it is in Earths shadow, which makes it a Lunar Eclipse. The Earths Atmosphere does different strange changes which makes a lunar eclipse look red. if the earth didn't have an atmosphere, a lunar eclipse would just look like a new moon.
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.

Total lunar eclipses occur between 0-3 times per year.
Both solar and lunar eclipses generally occur 2 times a year. Some years you will have fewer, or more. For example, there will be NO solar eclipses at all during 2011! The maximum possible number of solar or lunar eclipses per year is five.
Lunar Eclipses (the darkening of a full moon by the shadow of the Earth) occur every 6 months, and total lunar eclipses normally come in sets of three, followed by three partial eclipses.The lunar eclipse of June 26, 2010 is a partial eclipse visible mainly in Australia. There will be total lunar eclipses on December 21 (2010), June 15 (2011), and December 10 (2011).Solar Eclipses (shadow of the Moon partially or fully blocking the Sun) can occur two to five times a year, but the majority are partial eclipses. Total eclipses occur about once every 18 months, and affect a very limited area. The maximum coverage of the solar disk lasts between 6 and 7.5 minutes.
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Of the lunar eclipses, about 40% are "total"; the remainder are partial or penumbral. A lunar eclipse is visible from one-half of the Earth's surface. So on average, and weather permitting, you will see a total lunar eclipse about every third year.

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.
i believe evry 1oo years but I'm not sure

Lunar eclipses occur more frequently than Solar eclipses. About 70 eclipses take place in regular cycles lasting 18 years and 8 or 9 days; usually 41 of these eclipses are solar and 29 are lunar.

There's no regular schedule. Here are a few facts: -- The closest together that two eclipses can possibly be is about 2 weeks. -- On the average over a period of many years, there are about 2.3 lunar eclipses and 2.3 solar ones every year. But that's a long-term average. -- There can be anywhere from one to five eclipses in one year ... lunar, solar, or mixed.
yes
During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones. So over the long term, you can figure on equal numbers, at the rate of around 7 of each every 3 years.
