Question

Using complete sentences and correct punctuation and grammar answer the following question. Must be at least 3 sentences.

Explain why Eclipses do not occur every month.

Answer 1

Because the moon's orbit wobbles up and down with respect to the Earth, the satellite's shadow can be too high or too low to cause a solar eclipse. If the moon partially covers the sun for a given location, that area experiences a partial solar eclipse. But if the moon fully covers the sun, it will cause either a total solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse; that's when a bright ring of light is still visible in the sky around the dark silhouette of the moon.

Answer 2

Answer: A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in between the Earth and sun, casting a shadow down on the surface of our planet. If you're in the path of the shadow, the moon destroys the sun. No, wait, I mean the moon blocks the sun briefly.A lunar eclipse happens when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow. We see one limb of the moon darken until the entire thing is in shadow.An eclipse does not occur every month, because one month after an eclipse the relative geometry of the Sun, Moon, and Earth has changed. As seen from the Earth, the time it takes for the Moon to return to a node, the draconic month, is less than the time it takes for the Moon to return to the same ecliptic longitude as the Sun.
