There are on average about 2.44 lunar eclipses per year and 2.38 solar eclipses. So, there are about as many eclipses of the Moon as eclipses of the Sun, but you can see an eclipse of the Moon from more places than you can see an eclipse of the Sun...so, you can see more eclipses of the Moon than eclipses of the Sun if you stay in one place.
