Why are there only 2 lunar eclipses per year?
The National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) has a fascinating article about lunar eclipses for beginners that answers many commonly asked questions, including yours. (You can find the full article by searching for "lunar eclipse" after after you reach NASA's homepage at nasa.gov. Once you reach the lunar eclipse webpage, scroll down towards the bottom and click on "Lunar Eclipses for Beginners and Students" under the Lunar Eclipses-Special Interest section.) Basically, the article says that eclipses can only happen during full moons which occur about once per month. The reason that we do not have an eclipse every month is because the Moon's orbit is tipped about 5 degrees compared to Earth's path around the sun. So, it is either revolving slightly above or slightly below the Earth's path around the Sun. Thus, it usually does not touch the shadow that covers the non-Sun facing side of Earth. Eclipses cannot happen when the Moon and Earth's shadow don't touch. So, the reason why we have so few lunar eclipses per year is because the shadows only line up so often. According to NASA, it is actually possible to have up to 4 lunar eclipses per year, but the historical and upcoming eclipse date tables on NASA's main lunar eclipse page do show that most years only have 2. 2020 might be an interesting year though as there is projected to be 4 lunar eclipses! You can also visit Earthsky.org and search the website for the article: "Why no eclipse every full and new moon?" It shares the same information about the Moon's tilted orbit with a bit more technical vocabulary, but also contains a brief video that shows how the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon must line up to make both a solar and lunar eclipse. The video is a really nice visual that is helpful for understanding how the Moon's tilted orbit actually looks in relationship to the Earth.
