There are solar eclipses every year, and nearly every country has seen one at one point or another, so it is difficult to answer your question. There are many types of eclipses, from ones where only part of the sun is covered, known as a partial eclipse, to ones where the entire sun is covered, known as a total eclipse. A total solar eclipse happens about once every 18 months somewhere in the world. When a total eclipse does occur many countries will see it, and many other countries experience a partial eclipse. A total eclipse in the same place occurs on average about once in every 370 years.
Lunar eclipses can happen a maximum of twice per year, and only at the time of the full moon. Sometimes the alignment is just right, and we get a total lunar eclipse. If the alignment isn't exact, we might get a partial or a penumbral eclipse instead of a total eclipse.
