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 it more common to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?
It is more common 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. This can happen multiple times a year because the Earth is larger than the Moon and can block its light more frequently. On the other hand, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light. Solar eclipses are less common because the Moon is smaller and its shadow is narrower, making it less likely to align perfectly with the Earth and the Sun.
What Does the Luna and solar eclipse have in common?

Why are solar eclipse less common then patial solar eclipse?
I presume you are asking why Total Solar Eclipses are less common than Partial Solar Eclipses. The reason for this is that the moon's shadow does not completely cover the Earth when eclipsing the sun. It covers just a a narrow corridor across the Earth's surface. This mean's that when there is a total solar eclipse, you have to be in the right place at the right time on earth to see it. Whereas a much wider area of Earth will only witness a partial eclipse during the event. The moon also sometimes is slightly further away from the Earth during some solar eclipses (due to it's slightly elliptical orbit). The moon will look slightly smaller than the sun and this results in an Annular Solar Eclipse where the outer edges of the sun manage to shine around the moon creating a 'ring' effect. Annular solar eclipses are slghtly more common than Total Solar Eclipses. Partial Solar Eclipses are the most common in any one place on Earth.
Which type of eclipse is more common: solar or lunar eclipses?
Solar eclipses are more common than lunar eclipses.
What is rarer to happen solar eclipse or lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the dark half of the Earth. A solar eclipse can be seen only from a strip 3000 miles wide, approximately the diameter of the Moon. So it seems that solar eclipses are less frequent.
Why is the lunar eclipse more common than a solar eclipse agree?
because it acres more often
Why are you are less likely to see a total solar eclipse than a total lunar eclipse?
a total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on earth where the moon is visible so you are more likely to see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse
