Answer:
Cycles of eclipses. ... A solar eclipse does not occur at every new moon, nor does a lunar eclipse occur at every full moon, because the Moon's orbital plane is inclined to the ecliptic, the plane of the orbit of Earth around the Sun.

Eclipses do not happen at every new moon, of course. This is because the moon's orbit is tilted just over 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. For this reason, the moon's shadow usually passes either above or below Earth, so a solar eclipse doesn't occur.
