it happens almost every ten years so if u don't get to see it this year than there is always a decade till the next one

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.
Globally, solar eclipses are slightly more frequent. But a lunar eclipse can be seen from any place where the Moon is above the horizon, whereas a solar eclipse can only be seen from a narrow strip of land. So, for any particular fixed observer, solar eclipses - and especially total solar eclipses - are quite rare. 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.
Either a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse, depending on the arrangement of the alignment.
What happens is a solar eclipse. The Moon casts a shadow on the Earth. This does not happen on each revolution because the Moon's orbit it tilted, so an eclipse only happens when the Moon is crossing the ecliptic at the right moment.
About 1-2 times a year. However, each solar eclipse can only be seen in parts of the Earth, so it may take quite a while until a solar eclipse happens precisely where you happen to live - and even longer if you want to wait for a total solar eclipse.
Over several years, it'll average out to about 2.3 each year, but it can vary between 1 and 5 in any single year.

There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. A lunar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon. Each lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night half of the Earth, so on average you will see one lunar eclipse per year, from wherever on Earth that you live. There are also two total solar eclipses per year, but the shadow of the Moon on the Earth is much smaller. So the average person will hardly ever see a solar eclipse, unless you travel to the place where the eclipse will happen. On average, you can expect a solar eclipse to happen where you live once every 58 years. If you would like to see when the next solar eclipse will happen where you live, the link below to the Solar Eclipse Calendar will be useful. To see all solar eclipses in the world, the "World Solar Eclipse" link will give you a map.
It's not the same every year, but that's a good approximation of the average. During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were an average of 2.28 eclipses of each kind per year.

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.
In the first place, solar eclipses happen at New Moon. Apart from that, the Moon has an orbit that is inclined to the plane of the Earth's orbit, and an eclipse can only occur when it is crossing that plane. If it is not, the Moon passes above or below the Sun and there is no eclipse.

The Ashes should happen every two years,but it is a bit difficuilt as summer in Australia is December.
There are between 1 and 4 lunar eclipses per year. Between the years 1901 and 2000, the average was 2.29 of them each year.
The most possible is five in a year, but it changes from year to year. In the 100 years of the 20th Century (1901 to 2000), there were 229 lunar eclipses (and 228 solar ones). So over several years, it averages out to about 2.3 of each kind per year.
