lunar
A lunar eclipse is caused by the moon passing behind the earth in relation to the sun. Lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses.

It depends.. If your planet has 2 or more moons then it its possible to have a solar and lunar eclipse at the same time.
A total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on Earth where the moon is visible..so you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.
Both types of eclipse occur with identical frequency. during the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones.
Actually, globally solar eclipses are about as common as lunar eclipses, perhaps even a bit more common. However, they can only be seen from a narrow strip of Earth - especially if you want to see it as a total eclipse, while a lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, more or less.
More people witness a lunar eclipse compared to a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse is visible from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth, while a solar eclipse is only visible from a specific region on Earth where the moon's shadow falls.
Sometimes there can be more solar eclipses or more lunar eclipses in a given year, but they're pretty even on average. However, because a solar eclipse is only visible along a narrow track on the Earth's surface, whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from anywhere the Moon is visible, it is much more common to SEE a lunar eclipse. ======================================= During the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones, for an average rate of about 2.3 of each per year.
