That varies, but usually there are one or two solar eclipses per year.
Most people will, but not everyone. About 5 happen each year, but are only visible in some places when they happen. Some may not live long enough or may be in a place where there isn't one for a long time. Of those that do see them, some may only ever see partial eclipses and never a total eclipse.

a soloar eclipse only happens when theres a full moon because when theres an eclipse the moons shadow goes onto the earth and for that to happen the moon has to be a fulll one cause the moon covers the sun it needs to cover it fully to make a solar eclipse

eclipse don't happen a few times. they happen all around the world a different time all at once. it is just rarer for one to happen at a specific area at night. right now on the other side of the world, there may be an eclipse happening on the other side of the world in the middle of a sea or the desert

Eclipses happen when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up almost exactly, and the shadow from one hits the other. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth, and in a lunar eclipse the Earth's shadow darkens the Moon.
The moon isn't revolving around the earth in a complete circle. For a solar eclipse to happen the moon must be directly between the sun an earth. Then you could only see the eclipse from one part of earth. For a lunar eclipse you can't see the moon at all or barely.
It depends on how fast you are going. If you happen to be traveling at a speed of 557mp/h then it will take you one hour.
An eclipse is probably going to happen again in about one hundred years. Your grandchildren are probably going to see it. But don't worry, it is very rare. It won't happen again when you are alive.
