Answer:

This is true: Lunar eclipses happen more often. I think it's just a question of how big the shadows are: There is a lunar eclipse when the Earth blocks the Moon's light from the Sun. 7000 km away from the Moon, the Earth's shadow is about two lunar diameters wide. Much wider than a pancake. The reason that the moon turns red, is due to Earth's atmosphere. It bends red rays of sunlight into our planet's shadow and scatters out blue rays of light.

When the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth, it is called a solar eclipse. The Moon is a lot smaller now, and its shadow is also a lot smaller than it was before. Around 200 or 300 km across is how big the Moon's shadow is when it's far from the Earth.

Fun Facts:

- The 21st century has 224 solar eclipses and 230 lunar eclipses (all varieties of each combined)

Solar eclipse is when the moon passes or is in between the Earth and sun. Solar eclipses occur every year but they are more rare because they are only visible from a narrow path on Earth. A lunar eclipse is when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow. The Moon turns red because the only sunlight reaching the Moon passes through Earth's atmosphere. Lunar eclipses are more common because they are more visible since Earth casts a larger shadow on the Moon.
