Why does a solar eclipse occurs only a few times a year?

Answer 1

It does not. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Because the alignment of the Earth, Moon and Sun is rarely precisely right, we sometimes get two partial eclipses instead of a single total eclipse, but on average, two per year.

Answer 2

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth's surface. However, the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the Sun, so eclipses can only occur when the three bodies align just right. This alignment happens only a few times a year because of these orbital dynamics.

Answer 3

The sun comes in the middle of the earth and moon and so causing a solar eclipse.
