Is the moons orbit around earth straight with respect to earth's orbit around the sun?
No. The moon's orbit is tilted by about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. This is why we do not see eclipses every month.

With a little more than one orbit per month, the Moon wanes at least once each and every month.
