It's not. 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, when it happens, is visible from only a small area on earth,
whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night-time half of the earth.

What does Eclipse mean in science?
An eclipse is the word used to describe an astronomical phenomenon in which the Sun, Earth and Moon happen to line up sufficiently for the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon (a lunar eclipse) or the Moon's shadow to fall on the Earth (a solar eclipse). A lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth at once - the dark half. A solar eclipse has a more limited viewing area because the Moon is relatively small. Therefore although lunar and solar eclipses are equally frequent, it appears to anyone in a fixed geographical position that lunar eclipses are more frequent.
