Over a long period of time, there are exactly the same number of each.

But if you stay in one place, you'll see more lunar eclipses than solar ones,

because a lunar eclipse, when it happens, is visible over a much wider area.

Why is it more common to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?

It is more common to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can happen multiple times a year because the Earth is larger than the Moon and can block its light more frequently. On the other hand, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light. Solar eclipses are less common because the Moon is smaller and its shadow is narrower, making it less likely to align perfectly with the Earth and the Sun.

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. The Earth's shadow causes the moon to look red because of the Sun's color. Keep in mind that you must never look at a solar eclipse directly! Only you can look at a lunar ecplise. Hope this helped!
