Sometimes there can be more solar eclipses or more lunar eclipses in a given year, but they're pretty even on average.
However, because a solar eclipse is only visible along a narrow track on the Earth's surface, whereas a lunar eclipse is visible from anywhere the Moon is visible, it is much more common to SEE a lunar eclipse.
=======================================
During the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses
and 229 lunar ones, for an average rate of about 2.3 of each per year.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
Most people may think lunar eclipses occur more often because lunar eclipses are visible from a larger geographic area on Earth compared to solar eclipses. Lunar eclipses also last longer and are easier to observe with the naked eye, making them seem more common. However, in reality, both lunar and solar eclipses occur at about the same frequency.
It can cause lunar eclipses, and solar eclipses.
Lunar eclipses and solar eclipses happen EQUALLY often; about two of each kind per year. However, solar eclipses are visible only across a small path on the Earth, while lunar eclipses are visible from the entire nighttime hemisphere of the planet.
The most common type of eclipse is a partial solar eclipse, where the Moon partially covers the Sun from the perspective of Earth. This occurs more frequently than total solar eclipses where the Moon completely blocks the Sun or lunar eclipses where the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.

A lunar eclipse is caused by the moon passing behind the earth in relation to the sun. Lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses.

All eclipses are shadows. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth. A lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
Solar and lunar eclipses
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.

the sun is blocked out in a solar eclipse so it is more noticeable than a lunar eclipse where only the moon is blocked out
