A lunar eclipse is where the Moon is in the shadow of the planet earth. The equivalent happens in Jupiter's system constantly, since the planet is so large and the sun appears only as a tiny ball of light. Jupiter's moons will orbit the planet and will be in complete shadow for long periods of time as they go behind Jupiter on every orbit.

What is the minimum times in a year that a lunar eclipse happen?

it's quite rare, but it's possible to have no lunar eclipses at all in a year, if the geometry between the Earth, Moon and Sun doesn't quite work out. The maximum possible number, again VERY rare, is five. Typically, we have two lunar eclipses per year.


How often do solar eclipses occur on Jupiter?

Solar eclipses on Jupiter occur much more frequently than on Earth due to its many moons casting shadows on the planet. On average, there can be multiple solar eclipses every day on Jupiter as the large number of moons with varying orbital planes constantly create opportunities for eclipses to happen.

Lunar and solar eclipses cannot be predicted with any accuracy?

This statement is inaccurate. Lunar and solar eclipses can be predicted with high accuracy using astronomical calculations and models. The timing and visibility of eclipses can be forecasted many years in advance.
