Total solar eclipses can be seen by fewer people because the path of totality is quite narrow, typically only covering a few hundred miles wide. In contrast, lunar eclipses can be observed by anyone on the nighttime side of the Earth, making them visible to a much larger audience. Consequently, lunar eclipses are seen by more people overall compared to total solar eclipses.
What else can I help you with?
Why have more people seen a total lunar eclipse than have seen a total solar eclipse?
Because a total lunar is seen from half the Earth simultaneously. A total solar is only seen along a strip of the Earth's surface that is less than 50 miles wide, which contains fewer people.
Why do more people see a lunar eclipse?
I believe it is because of the technology we have this day and age. It's because a lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, while a solar eclipse only occurs along a relatively narrow track on the Earth's surface. The Moon is too small to eclipse the whole Earth all at once, so although there are as many solar eclipses as lunar, fewer people get to see each one.
Why is a solar eclipse less common?
Actually, globally solar eclipses are about as common as lunar eclipses, perhaps even a bit more common. However, they can only be seen from a narrow strip of Earth - especially if you want to see it as a total eclipse, while a lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, more or less.
Why is total solar eclipse not seen from all parts of the globe?
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun. The Moon is only about 1/4 the size of the Earth, and that is the reason the eclipse can't be seen (not even as a partial eclipse) from all parts of the Earth at once.A solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun.

Why is a solar eclipse not visible on every place on earth?
A solar eclipse happens when the moon orbits in front of the sun, Also on earth one half would be day and the other would be night. so the night half of earth wouldn't be able to see it because the suns not out at night
Why do people see a total lunar eclipse more than a solar eclipse?
A total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on Earth where the moon is visible..so you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.

Why are you more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?
You are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, which can be seen from anywhere on the night side of the Earth. In contrast, a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth, but this shadow is much smaller and can only be seen from a specific region on Earth.

What eclipse can be seen by about half of the earth at once?
That is a lunar eclipse which can be seen from everywhere on the dark side of the Earth, which is always a hemisphere with its centre at the place where the Sun is directly downwards.
What can be seen during a lunar eclipse?
The shadow of the earth passing over the face of the moon, also when the moon is in total eclipse you can see the stars more clearly.
