Why do most people think that lunar eclipses occur more often then a solar eclipses?
Most people may think lunar eclipses occur more often because lunar eclipses are visible from a larger geographic area on Earth compared to solar eclipses. Lunar eclipses also last longer and are easier to observe with the naked eye, making them seem more common. However, in reality, both lunar and solar eclipses occur at about the same frequency.
Were people in the past afraid of eclipses?
Yes because they thought it brought them bad luck.
Were total eclipses or annular eclipses more common in the distant past?
In the very distant past, the Moon's orbit was closer to Earth than it is now, and the Moon continues to VERY SLOWLY recede in its orbit. So it is likely (although I have not seen any calculations to bear this out) that in the distant past there would have been fewer annular eclipses and more total eclipses. However, there was nobody around to notice.
What did people of the past think of eclipses?
They thought they were a sign from the gods saying somthing was about to happen but overall no one really investigated into because they only lived to view it once. Some people thought it was a important person who'd died and was rising with the moon as a star to join the constelations in the night sky.

Why do people think about people in your past?
People think about other people from the past because either they have had a loved one die or maybe a good friendship they want to remember so they continue to think about the person because they might miss them. Or as parents, we like to think about and recall memories of our children when they were tiny tots (in the past) because we have good and loving feelings about our children that we like to remember.
Lunar and solar eclipses cannot be predicted with any accuracy?
This statement is inaccurate. Lunar and solar eclipses can be predicted with high accuracy using astronomical calculations and models. The timing and visibility of eclipses can be forecasted many years in advance.
