Is lunar eclipse is more frequent than a solar eclipse?

No. during the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones ... an average of about 2.3 of each every year. If you stay in one place, though, you see lunar eclipses more frequently. That's because a solar eclipse is visible from only a small area on earth, whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from wherever the moon is visible ... the entire night-time half of the earth.

What is the difference between a full lunar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse occurs when the normally full Moon crosses into the Earth's shadow, thereby creating a darkened area on the moon. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon falls into the Earth's shadow. During a full lunar eclipse, the entire moon crosses through the earth's shadow, and therefore the entire moon is darkened.

A total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on Earth where the moon is visible..so you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.
