Which is more rare: Lunar eclipse or Solar eclipse? Which is more rare: Lunar eclipse or Solar eclipse? Please explain why either one is more rare than the other. 

Thank you in advance for your inputs.
Solar and lunar eclipses occur about equally often - between two and four times per year.

However, when you do not intentionally travel around the world chasing solar eclipses, you are more likely to observe more lunar eclipses. The reason is that solar eclipses can only be observed from a comparatively small area while lunar eclipses can be observed from anywhere were the moon is visible when they occur, which is half the planet.
