A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. When it happens, it can
only be seen by people in places where it is daytime at the moment.
A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon. When it happens, it can
only be seen by people in places where it is night-time.
That varies, but usually there are one or two solar eclipses per year.
The answer very much depends on the year. One calendar year has a minimum of four eclipses, which are two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. A year can have as many as seven eclipses. So each year is different.

probably the same time all the others came out
usually around a few hundred years.
Lunar eclipses occur more frequently than Solar eclipses. About 70 eclipses take place in regular cycles lasting 18 years and 8 or 9 days; usually 41 of these eclipses are solar and 29 are lunar.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
Lunar eclipses are usually visible for anyone who is on the night side of the Earth. Solar eclipses are limited to a very narrow area for only a few minutes.
Actually the 8 minute long solar eclipse was a world record for the longest one therefore solar eclipses are not usually 8 minutes long.
Not in our lifetimes. There will be several partial or annular eclipses visible from Texas in the 21st Century, but there will be no total eclipses visible in Texas within the next 100 years.
On average, we can expect two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in any year. 2010 will have four eclipses, right on the average.
A lunar eclipse can occur multiple times a year, but the frequency can vary. On average, there are about two to four lunar eclipses each year. Lunar eclipses can be partial, total, or penumbral, with total eclipses being less common.
