because the moons revolution is tilted and most of the time the moon goes over the earth.

Why don t you have eclipses every month?

We do. its not a month though. its every 29.5 days


Why dont you have an eclipse every month?

The Moon's orbit is at an angle to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun so most often the full/new moon is 'above' or 'below' the line directly from the Sun to the Earth so lunar/solar eclipses do not occur every month.


What would happen if eclipses happen every month?

The moon phases would change.


What is true about solar eclipses A there is a solar eclipse every month b all solar eclipses are not total D there can be twelve solar eclipses in a single year?

'C' (the missing one) is the correct choice.


Why don't solar and lunar eclipses occur every mouth?

Solar and lunar eclipses don't occur every month because the orbits of the Earth and the Moon are tilted relative to each other. Eclipses can only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align perfectly, which occurs during specific phases of the Moon (new and full). This alignment happens only a few times a year, resulting in a limited number of eclipses rather than one every month.

Why don't we experance an eclipse every month?

We don't experience an eclipse every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This tilt means that the Sun, Earth, and Moon do not always align perfectly during the new moon (for solar eclipses) or full moon (for lunar eclipses). Eclipses only occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a straight line, which happens only a few times a year at specific points in their orbits called nodes. Therefore, while we have new and full moons every month, eclipses are much less frequent.


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.


How long does lunar eclipse come?

A lunar eclipse can occur multiple times a year, but the frequency can vary. On average, there are about two to four lunar eclipses each year. Lunar eclipses can be partial, total, or penumbral, with total eclipses being less common.


Why don't we see lunar eclipses every month?

The moon in its orbit usually passes above or below the Sun as seen from Earth.

When's the next solar eclipse?

See the list of coming eclipses at the NASA link:http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.htmlHere is a video explaining why we don't get solar eclipses every month. Interesting!
