the sun is blocked out in a solar eclipse so it is more noticeable than a lunar eclipse where only the moon is blocked out
Lunar eclipses are more frequent, but a solar eclipse is more visible.
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.

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.
No. during the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones ... an average of about 2.3 of each every year. If you stay in one place, though, you see lunar eclipses more frequently. That's because a solar eclipse is visible from only a small area on earth, whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from wherever the moon is visible ... the entire night-time half of the earth.

It's not. During the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipsesand 229 lunar ones ... an average of about 2.3 of each every year.If you stay in one place, though, you see lunar eclipses more frequently. That'sbecause a solar eclipse, when it happens, is visible from only a small area on earth,whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night-time half of the earth.
A total solar eclipse is visible only across a narrow path of the Earth's surface; generally no more than 200 miles across, and sometimes much less. A total lunar eclipse occurs on the Moon itself, and is visible from the entire night side of the Earth.

It's the other way around; more people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse. The reason is that a lunar eclipse happens on the Moon; it is visible from half of the Earth's surface. A solar eclipse occurs along a narrow track across the Earth, and 75% of the Earth's surface is oceans.
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.
