Question

WE SEE A FULL MOON AND A NEW MOON ONCE EACH MONTH. EXPLAIN, THEN, WHY WE DO NOT SEE A TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE AND A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE SOMEWHERE ON EARTH EACH MONTH?

Answer 1

because we dont live in a 2d world....3d dude

solareclipse is when the moon passes between the sun and earth... it passes often, but a little higher or a little lower then the axe sun-earth...dont forget that earth is inclined by 27 degrees so the moon dosnt rotate on a horizontal plan, but diagonnaly

Answer 2

Given if the earth moon and sun were in a straight line,
they would happen twice a month , one lunar (earth between
moon and sun) at full moon, and one 2 weeks later at new
moon (solar eclipse). But they are not as the Sun and earth
have their own orbit tilt, and the moon and earth have their
own orbit tilt. So you are looking at three different planes
of orbit. Now there is a time when these orbits cross each
other and that point is called a node. So when the earth
moon and sun hit at a node, an eclipse happens.
The Earth shadow is expanse due to size and distance from
the sun. Consequently, the moon enters the earths shadow
(lunar eclipse) a lot more frequent than the moon shadow
hitting the earth (solar eclipse) but is usually partial
and not a total eclipse.

Answer 3

The reason for this is really quite simple: the moon does not orbit the earth on a perfectly level plane; there is about a 5 degree inclination on the moon's orbit. If the moon was perfectly in line with the Sun and Earth throughout its orbit, we would see an eclipse every month. However, it isn't, and so this is why eclipses don't occur every two weeks. Hope this helps!!

Answer 4

The orbit of the moon is offset about 13 degrees from the orbit of the earth around the sun. Usualy, when it's on the right side for a lunar or solar exlipse, it's too high or low to cause that effect.

Answer 5

Full moon
