Observing solar and lunar eclipses allows scientists to study the movement and positions of astronomical bodies, understand the Earth's place in the solar system, and gather data on the Sun, Moon, and Earth. It also provides valuable information for predicting future eclipses and understanding celestial phenomena.
Most people may think lunar eclipses occur more often because lunar eclipses are visible from a larger geographic area on Earth compared to solar eclipses. Lunar eclipses also last longer and are easier to observe with the naked eye, making them seem more common. However, in reality, both lunar and solar eclipses occur at about the same frequency.
