Oh honey, where do I start with these questions about eclipses? People always want to know when the next one is happening, duh. And then they bug me about why the sky turns dark during an eclipse - like, have you heard of the moon blocking out the sun? Pay attention, sweetie. Just Google it, it's not rocket science.
What else can I help you with?
Were total eclipses or annular eclipses more common in the distant past?
In the very distant past, the Moon's orbit was closer to Earth than it is now, and the Moon continues to VERY SLOWLY recede in its orbit. So it is likely (although I have not seen any calculations to bear this out) that in the distant past there would have been fewer annular eclipses and more total eclipses. However, there was nobody around to notice.
Which type of eclipse, solar or lunar, is more common?
Well, darling, a lunar eclipse is more common than a solar eclipse. We've all seen the moon show off by gliding through Earth's shadow, but the sun likes to keep things mysterious by blocking its own light now and then.
How often does an eclipse come around?
There are generally 2 to 5 solar eclipses per year. However, not all eclipses are visible from the same location. Lunar eclipses are more frequent, with 2 to 4 visible per year from any single location.
How many total eclipse were there in 2009?
About two per year, since the Moon formed. So, around 4000 solar eclipses (and 4000 lunar eclipses) since the year 1. You can check the list of all eclipses since the year 2000 BC on the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.

Actually solar eclipses are slightly more common, but a solar eclipse, and especially the total phase, can only be seen in a relatively narrow strip of Earth.
Why are lunar eclipses more common than solar eclipses?
Lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses because the Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow, making it easier for the Moon to pass through the Earth's shadow and experience an eclipse. Solar eclipses, on the other hand, occur when the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth, which is a rarer occurrence due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.
