It very much depends on your location. It is very possible that an individual would never ever see a solar eclipse (not even a partial one) since at a given spot they can be separated by hundreds of years or more. there is no single answer that would work for all locations.

What is the most common type of eclipse?
During the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones, which is about as equal as you can get. But lunar eclipses are visible over a wider area. So if you stay in one place, you're more likely to see lunar eclipses more often than solar ones.

Are you most likely to see a lunar or solar eclipse?
Although they occur in almost identical numbers, you're more likely to see a lunar eclipsewhen it does happen.

Lunar eclipse can take place only when the moon is full?
As far as I know, there are full and partial eclipses of the full moon and every other moon phase. It all depends on position and timing of the moon and the planet or star that eclipses it. Full or partial eclpise can only occur at Full Moon.

Why does the eclipse happen so late does it happen every years or in the 100s of years?
Both solar eclipses and lunar eclipses are fairly common; there are 1-2 of each every year. ______________________________ Solar eclipses SEEM TO BE rare, because each one affects only a small area on the Earth. For example, the last total solar eclipse had a path across the south Pacific Ocean, including a few atolls in French Polynesia, Easter Island, and the southern tip of South America. If you live in a particular spot and never travel much, you might see one solar eclipse in your lifetime, and you might NOT. It would be rare for one place to see two total solar eclipses in one lifetime. (But not impossible; Carbondale, IL will have two total solar eclipses 8 years apart, in 2017 and 2024. ) On the other hand, if you live in Los Angeles, CA, the next total solar eclipse will be in about 500 years.
