Neither a solar eclipse nor a lunar one necessarily lasts longer. But if you stay in

one place and don't move while you're watching one, the lunar eclipse may last

longer from your point of view.

When the moon is in Earth's shadow, everybody on the night-side half of Earth

can see that, until the moon leaves the shadow. But in order to see the sun

blanked out, you must be within the narrow tip of the moon's shadow, which

can sweep across the Earth's surface at 1,000 mph during a solar eclipse.

Why does a lunar eclipse lasts longer than a solar eclipse?

Because in a lunar eclipse the earth blocks the moon from the sun, and the earth is bigger. Solar eclipses are when the moon blocks the earth from the sun, and the moon is smaller, thus taking less time than a lunar eclipse.
