A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the dark half of the Earth. A solar eclipse can be seen only from a strip 3000 miles wide, approximately the diameter of the Moon. So it seems that solar eclipses are less frequent.

Why are solar eclipses an interest?

They rarely ever happen, and it is cool to watch. (They happen on the average 2.3 times every year, same as lunar eclipses, but they're still cool to watch.) The thing that makes them seem rarer is that a little over half the planet sees every lunar eclipse. To see a solar eclipse, though, you have to be in a very specific region, so for any given spot you're likely to see a lot more lunar eclipses than solar ones.
