Does a lunar eclipse happen more often than a solar eclipse?
Globally, solar eclipses are slightly more frequent. But a lunar eclipse can be seen from any place where the Moon is above the horizon, whereas a solar eclipse can only be seen from a narrow strip of land. So, for any particular fixed observer, solar eclipses - and especially total solar eclipses - are quite rare. During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones. So over the long term, you can figure on equal numbers, at the rate of around 7 of each every 3 years.
What is a different about a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.

How often does a solar eclipse occour?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth. Because the Moon is much smaller than the Earth, the Moon's shadow on Earth is fairly small, and a solar eclipse doesn't cover much area. So even though there are usually two per year, solar eclipses seem rare, because one area rarely experiences one. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow darkens the Moon. Since a lunar eclipse occurs on the Moon, the entire night side of Earth can view it. So lunar eclipses feel more frequent, because far more people experience each one.
How often does an eclipse come around?
