Because the lunar orbit is slightly tilted from the plane of the ecliptic.

An eclipse is defined as an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another, partially or fully obscuring it from view. An eclipse on Earth occurs when the Sun, the Earth and the moon are all in a line together. The two primary types of eclipses seen from Earth are the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. These two types of eclipses can then be broken down into four different types; a total eclipse, partial eclipse, annular eclipse or hybrid eclipse. The term solar eclipse describes the occurrence of when the moon travels between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from the Earth in the middle of the day, and generally giving the appearance of a ring of light in the darkened sky. During a lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the shadow of the Earth during night time hours, gradually blocking the view of the moon form the Earth. Eclipses have also been known to occur on other planets as well. On Earth, there can be anywhere from four to seven eclipses of varying degrees within any given year.

As of 2011, Uranus has 27 known moons. Before the Voyager 2 encounter, only five satellites of Uranus had been discovered. They form a remarkably regular system with low orbital eccentricities and inclinations close to the plane of the planet's equator. The Voyager cameras found 10 (actually 11) additional small satellites, including two that may serve as gravitational "shepherds" for the outermost ring. Like Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, Uranus also has more distant, irregular satellites (moons that move in orbits with high inclinations or eccentricities). These are likely captured asteroids, and all but one orbit in the opposite direction from the larger moons. The 27 moons are : 1. Cordelia 2. Ophelia 3. Bianca 4. Cressida 5. Desdemona 6. Juliet 7. Portia 8. Rosalind 9. Mab 10. Belinda 11. Perdita 12. Puck 13. Cupid 14. Miranda 15. Francisco 16. Ariel 17. Umbriel 18. Titania 19. Oberon 20. Caliban 21. Stephano 22. Trinculo 23. Sycorax 24.

Not every galaxy has a solar system. Solar systems are specific to individual galaxies, such as our Milky Way galaxy, where planets orbit around a star like our Sun. There are galaxies that may not have stars that form solar systems due to different conditions present in those galaxies.
because it takes a while for the moon to come right im between the sun and earth in the solar eclipse.
Yes,they both block light form falling on something else(:
A solar eclipse is the shadow of the Moon falling on the Earth.
Eclipses form predictable patterns based on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Solar eclipses occur during a new moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.

Judaism has its own unique calendar which is a luni-solar calender where every month is a lunar month, but the years change length to coordinate roughly with a solar year (354 and 384 days) and become equivalent after 19 years. This calendar in its present form dates back to 360 CE; before that, the New Moon was declared following the testimony of witnesses..

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. Total solar eclipses can only occur at some New Moon's but they don't occur every New Moon because the Moon's orbit is inclined 6o to the Earth's orbital plane.
For an eclipse to take place the earth, moon and sun must form a straight line. then the shadow of the earth r the moon will fall upon the moon or the earth, and that is an eclipse. There are two types of eclipses; Solar and lunar. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun causing it to "disappear." A lunar eclipse is when the Earth passes between the sun and moon so that the moon doesn't get light causing it to appear red-ish.
A solar eclipse happens when the moon blocks sunlight from hitting the earth: ex- S) (m) (E A lunar eclipse happens when the earth blocks sunlight from hitting the moon: ex- S) (m) (E
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the Earth and the Sun in such a way that the moon blocks light traveling to the Earth. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse#2008-2011 for a list of recent and upcoming solar eclipses.
Solar eclipses only occur on the same day as a New Moon because that's the only time the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun, which is necessary to create the eclipse
