Hello,

I would imagine that more people have seen Lunar eclipses for the
following reasons:

1: They happen more often.
2: The Earth casts a larger shadow over the moon, so the opportunity for
observation, and the optimum path on Earth is far larger.
3: Totality of a Lunar eclipse lasts longer (because of 2)

Or because a significant proportion of the earth's population can see a
lunar eclipse whereas a solar eclipse can only be seen by someone in the
umbral or prenumbral shadow.

Just one small point here. Actually, the solar eclipses happen just
a bit more often than lunar eclipses.
