A solar eclipse (moon in between sun and earth, causing a shadow on earth) and a lunar eclipse (Earth between sun and moon, causing a shadow on the moon).
There are then different types of solar eclipse, subcategories if you will. There is the total Eclipse, where the moon totally covers the sun. Then there is a partial eclipse, where the moon passes across the sun, but not right through the middle - so we just see a 'bite' out of the sun at most. Then there is an annular eclipse, where the moon goes directly in front of the sun, but the distance is such that it is not able to cover the sun completely - the moon appears too small and the sun shines around it to make a ring. There is also a hybrid, which is where at some points on earth a total eclipse may be seen, but in other locations an annular eclipse may be seen.

How many eclipses are there?

How long are eclipse?
eclipses can be about 2 days long.
On average how many total lunar eclipse are there every year?
On average, there are about 2-4 lunar eclipses each year. These can vary in type, with some being total eclipses and others being partial or penumbral eclipses.
How often do eclipses naturally occur?
There are two main types of eclipses: solar and lunar. Lunar eclipses occur every 6 months. Solar eclipses occur 2-5 times per year. Eclipses can be partial or total. Partial eclipse covers only part of the sun or moon, while total covers the full entity.
Can eclipses of the sun occur 2-4 times a year?
that is true
