Eclipses don't happen every month because the Moon's orbit around Earth is tilted, so it doesn't always line up perfectly with the Sun and Earth. This alignment is necessary for an eclipse to occur.

nope


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.

Why isn't there a lunar eclipse every month?

A lunar eclipse doesn't happen every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This means that most of the time, the Moon passes above or below Earth's shadow, so a lunar eclipse only occurs when the alignment is just right.


Why don't we see lunar and solar eclipse every month?

because it takes a while for the moon to come right im between the sun and earth in the solar eclipse.


Why does a total solar solar eclipse or total lunar eclipse does not occur at least once a month?

A solar eclipse doesn't occur every 28 days because the moon's orbit is tilted compared to the earths.


Why does not earth experience a lunar eclipse every month?

Eclipses do not happen every month because the Moon is in an orbit that is inclined to the plane of the Earth's orbit, the ecliptic. So although the Moon passes behind the Earth (as seen from the Sun) every month, it usually passes above or below the Earth's shadow. For a lunar eclipse, Full Moon has to occur when the Moon is crossing the ecliptic, when it is said to be at a node.


Though the moon comes once between sun and earth every month how come there is no solar eclipse every month?

The plane of the Moon's orbit is tilted to the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit. So 5 times out of six, the Moon is either above or below the direct line from the Earth to the Sun, and no eclipse happens.
