Why aren't there lunar and solar eclipses every month?

The reason why lunar and solar eclipses do not occur every month is because; the plane of orbit of the moon around the earth is not same as that of earth around the sun.

<h3>Why don't lunar and solar eclipses occur every month?</h3>

When the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, there's solar eclipse while when the earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, there's lunar eclipse.

Hence, because the plane of orbit of the moon around the earth is not same as that of earth around the sun, we do not have lunar and solar eclipses every month.

The moon's orbital plane is different from that of the earth's orbit around the sun due to which lunar and solar eclipses do not occur every month.

<h3 /><h3>What is a solar eclipse?</h3>

When the moon passes in front of Earth and the sun, it creates a solar eclipse and casts a shadow across the globe.

Only during the new moon phase, when the moon travels squarely between the sun and Earth and casts shadows on its surface, can a solar eclipse occur.

Due to the moon's orbit being five degrees off-center from Earth's orbit around the Sun, lunar eclipses do not happen every month and the Moon often passes above or below the shadow.

Lunar eclipses would happen every month if there were no tilt. Eclipses of the sun and the moon happen equally often.

Hence lunar and solar eclipses aren't coming every month.

Suppose the entire solar nebula had cooled to 50 K before the solar wind cleared the early solar system of its gases. How would
Butoxors [25]

Suppose the entire solar nebula had cooled to 50 K before the solar wind cleared the early solar system of its gases. How would the composition and sizes of the planets of the inner solar system be different from what we see today is given below

Explanation:

1.In astronomy or planetary science, the frost line, also known as the snow line or ice line, is the particular distance in the solar nebula from the central protostar where it is cold enough for volatile compounds such as water, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide to condense into solid ice grains.

2.The frost line in the solar nebula lies between Mars and Jupiter. It is the distance where it was cold enough for hydrogen compounds to condense into ices. Frost line: Explain how temperature differences led to the formation of two distinct types of planets.

3. The frost line is the point moving away from the Sun where it is cool enough for hydrogen compounds to freeze. Since the solar nebula was hotter near the center of the disk, hydrogen compounds such as water stayed gaseous in the inner solar system. Outside of the frost line, they froze.

4.The solar nebula flattened into a rotating disk. As gas became dense and hot, then it spins faster and pulled towards the center whereby the sun is formed. Solar nebula they collapse where the protostellar disk rotates. In the center of of nebula, there is a fusion begins and then sun is being formed

5.When it comes to the formation of our Solar System, the most widely accepted view is known as the Nebular Hypothesis. In essence, this theory states that the Sun, the planets, and all other objects in the Solar System formed from nebulous material billions of years ago.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
