What would have to happen for a and solar eclipses to occur every month?

The moon would have to be on a flat plane instead of being on a tilt.


Why eclipses do not occur every month?

Because the position of the moon, earth, and sun are not in the same exact place every month. This means they are a rare occurrence and only happen when the moon, earth and sun are in exact alignment with the earth.


Would lunar eclipses happen if earth were larger?

yes


What would happen if you celebrated Valentine's Day every month?

Hilarity and insanity would ensue.


What would happen to the frequency of eclipses if the Moon's orbit were not tilted?

If the plane of the moon's orbit coincided with the plane of the earth's orbit (the 'ecliptic plane'), there would be a solar eclipse at every New Moon, and a lunar eclipse at every Full Moon. Nobody would think anything of it. It would be commonplace, just "the way things work", and nobody would even bother to look up. Eclipses would be as boring as the sunrise and sunset are, even though all are equally miraculous.


Does moon phases happen every month?

yes it does because every day i always at the beginning of the month i would look at the moon for the moon cycle


Why solar eclipse does not occur every time the moon revolves around earth?

The Earth orbits the Sun in a plane that we call the "ecliptic". If the Moon orbited the Earth in that same plane, we would experience eclipses every month. But the plane of the Moon's orbit is about 5 degrees tilted from the ecliptic, and so we only see eclipses at the "nodes" when the Moon's orbital plane crosses the ecliptic at the new or full moons.


Is there any place in the world that has not had an eclipse?

No. Lunar eclipses affect the entire night half of the Earth, and happen every year or so. Solar eclipses cover only a tiny swath of the Earth's surface, but given enough time, every point on Earth would be affected.


What would happen if the moon revolved around the earth along the equator without any inclination from the earth's orbit plane?

Hmmm. First, the Earth's equator is angled to the plane of Earth's orbit, which we call the "ecliptic", by an angle of about 23.5 degrees. If the Moon orbited either exactly parallel to the Earth's equator, or exactly parallel to the ecliptic, it would be an ENORMOUS coincidence. If the Moon orbited exactly parallel to the Earth's equator, the Moon would always pass over at the same elevation every month. There would never be months when the Moon was very high, or very low. If the Moon's orbit was parallel to the ecliptic, then we would have lunar eclipses at every full moon, and solar eclipses at every new moon. You would SEE a lunar eclipse every month, but you would only see one solar eclipse per year, because the path of totality would be offset a little each month. Total solar eclipses would only be visible in the tropics, never in the temperate zones, and the only state in the United States to ever see one would be Hawai'i.


Why would someone have their period every month?

you are supposed to have your period every single month to shed the layer that would have protected your baby in the womb. When it is no longer needed it leaves through the vagina and the same will happen next month. So you should have your period every single month (unless on a medication that changes your cycle). If you don't have your period every month i would suggest seeing a doctor to talk about it.


What would have to happen for a lunar and solar eclipse to happen every month?

First, you have to understand that the Moon has a tilt in its orbit. Its tilt is large enough to miss the Earth's shadow or the Sun's main stream of light. The Moon has to remove its orbital tilt for solar and lunar eclipses to happen every month. But eventually, the Moon will be far enough that it does not block enough sunlight for a solar eclipse to occur (this is because the moon is moving away from Earth because it orbits the Earth slower than the Earth rotates).


Would lunar eclipses happen is earth were bigger?

It already does happen on Earth but just not that offten.The size doesn't matter.
