What is the minimum times in a year that a lunar eclipse happen?

it's quite rare, but it's possible to have no lunar eclipses at all in a year, if the geometry between the Earth, Moon and Sun doesn't quite work out. The maximum possible number, again VERY rare, is five.
Typically, we have two lunar eclipses per year.

How many times does the lunar eclipse come?
Once every 33 months
This is caused by the straight alinment of the sun earth and moon?
False. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves directly between the sun and the earth. The reason the sun is eclipsed (a solar eclipse) is because earth falls into the moon's shadow.A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the moon and sun.
During what moon phase do lunar eclipses happen?
A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon.
How many times a year does a lunar eclipse occur?
Total lunar eclipses occur between 0-3 times per year.
How often are lunar eclipses in the northern hemisphere?
The hemisphere is irrelevant. Lunar eclipses happen, over the long run, about one and a half times a year or so for partial or total lunar eclipses. (if we add penumbral eclipses also, they're a bit more common, but you need special equipment to detect a penumbral eclipse... you can't really tell visually). Lunar eclipses are visible from the entire dark half of the Earth, while solar eclipses are visible only along a narrow path. This makes it SEEM as if solar eclipses are rare, but they are only rare for a specific location. The NASA Eclipse Web Page has a listing of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD. Because a lunar eclipse lasts for some time, a bit over half the Earth gets to see any given one. You can reasonably expect to see slightly under one lunar eclipse per year.
What time of year does a lunar eclipse happen?
A lunar eclipse can happen at the time of any Full Moon, but no more than about 5 times in a year, max.
How many times in a month a lunar eclipse can happen?
Lunar eclipses can happen a maximum of twice per year, and only at the time of the full moon. Sometimes the alignment is just right, and we get a total lunar eclipse. If the alignment isn't exact, we might get a partial or a penumbral eclipse instead of a total eclipse.
