Explain why lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses and why so few people ever have a chance to view a total solar eclipse

Luncar Eclipses are more common than solar eclipses because of the size of the Shadowmaker. The Earth is much bigger than the moon so it's easier to find the moon in the earth's shadow. In Solar Eclipses though, the Earth must Path through the moons relatively small shadows, and the 3 have to be aligned Just right to get a moon shadow focused on the Earth. 
Few People get to view a total solar eclipse because when it finally happens, the part of Earth that is in the Darkest center of the shadow is somewhere small and randon
Hope this Helps :D
