One Earth Day is 24 hours, a lunar day is 28 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes longer than this.

On average, a lunar day is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes long, which is the time taken for the moon to go through all of the phases. It orbits the earth once every 27 days and 8 hours, but takes a little longer to complete lunar day due to the earths precession around the sun in that time.

Why are solar eclipses visible from a much smaller part of earth then lunar eclipse?

It's because of the relative sizes of the Sun, moon and Earth. the moon - being the smallest of the three - casts a small shadow - and thus a solar eclipse rarely lasts more than a few minutes. The shadow cast by the Earth in a lunar eclipse is much larger - and thus the lunar eclipse lasts much longer.
