What is the differe nce between and solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth which causes us to see a dark shadow in front of the Sun. A lunar ecplise is when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon.

How often can you expect to see an eclipse?
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.

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.
