Why isn’t there a lunar eclipse every time Earth is in between the sun and the Moon?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Exploratorium Senior Scientist Paul Doherty explains why not—the orbit of the moon is tilted relative to the orbit of the Earth around the sun, so the moon often passes below or above Earth. At those times, it does not cross the line between the sun and the Earth, and therefore does not create a solar eclipse.
