How often does a lunar eclipse occur? (How often does a lunar eclipse happen)

According to science, if we talk about the occurrence of a lunar eclipse, it depends on what kind of lunar eclipse you are talking about. The Earth creates two types of shadows in space. A light outer shadow called 'penumbra' and a very dark central shadow called 'umbra'. Penumbral lunar eclipses occur at least twice every year. However, in many cases the penumbra is so light that most people cannot see it occurring. Umbra eclipses occur approximately every 2 or 3 years. Sometimes even twice in a year because the umbra is deep and clear, so when the Moon partially or completely falls inside it, people are able to see it.
