This is when a Solar Eclipse occurs, the total eclipse happens when the moon's apparent size is bigger than the sun's and the moon blocks out nearly all of the sun's light - thus making stars appear.

Why isn't there 2 eclipses every time the moon orbits the earth?

Because the sun, moon and earth are not always in alignment. The moon does not orbit the earth about the earths equator. The earths axis is tilted so the orbit around the sun does not always align with that of the moons orbit around the earth


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.


What is the earths slant called?

Earth is tilted from it axis


How is the earths sphere tilted?

The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.44 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic.


What would be the effect on earth if the planets axis were not tilted?

There would be no four seasons if the earths axis was not tilted.


What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?

The season


The earths rotation is direct cause of?

seasonsRotation around the sun gives the seasons because the earth is tilted. Rotation about earth's axis give day and night.


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.


How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?

The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.


What is the earths axis and orbit?

No, it is not. It is tilted in comparison to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why we have different times of seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere.


Why don't you have a eclipses every month?

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


How might earths climates be different if earths were not tilted on its axis?

Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same
