How many eclipses are there?
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.
Why and when do the lunar and solar eclipses occur?
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.
Why do solar and lunar clips occur?

How many times a year does a lunar eclipse occur?
Total lunar eclipses occur between 0-3 times per year.
Why are lunar eclipses observed more frequently than solar eclipses?

Solar eclipses, on the other hand, occur when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, which is a rarer alignment.
