Answer:
Solar eclipses are rarer events for people to witness compared to lunar eclipses. The Moon’s small size causes its umbra to be smaller than the Earth’s. This means that the area where a full solar eclipse can be seen is smaller than the area where a full lunar eclipse can be seen. The Earth’s larger size causes a larger umbra, making full lunar eclipses more common events.
