Question

You are less likely to see a total solar eclipse than a total lunar eclipse because and why or how

Answer 1

i think because the moon rotates around the earth so it's at different places and angles all the time, while the sun is just the centre, and it's earth that rotates around it, not the other way around

Answer 2

Lunar eclipses can be seen over a much larger area than a solar eclipse.
Basically, if there is a lunar eclipse and if you happen to be on the "night side" of the Earth, you will see it.
A total solar eclipse is visible only across a very narrow path on the Earth. (I think it is a path that is only a few hundred miles wide).
So, a total lunar eclipse could be visible to at least half of the Earth's population whereas a solar eclipse is visible only to the people that reside across that narrow path traced by the Moon's shadow.
