Question

why are solar eclipses only seen by a few locations on earth while lunar eclipses can be seen by most locations on earth?
it is easier to see a solar eclipse during the night
because the moon is bigger than the earth and makes a bigger shadow
it is easier to see a lunar eclipse during the daytime
because the earth is bigger than the moon and makes a bigger shadow

Explanation:

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. The Moon is much smaller than Earth, so its shadow (umbra) is narrow. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Since Earth is larger than the Moon, its shadow (umbra) is wider. During a lunar eclipse, as long as a location on Earth is in night - time (so they can see the Moon), they can view the lunar eclipse. But for a solar eclipse, only the small area in the Moon's umbra (and penumbra to some extent for partial eclipses) can see it.

Answer:

Because the Earth is bigger than the Moon and makes a bigger shadow.
