Why do lunar and solar eclipses not happen every month?
Eclipses only occur during full and new moons.
Earth rotates around its axis faster than the moon.
The moon and Earth only travel through the penumbras.
The moon’s axis does not always align with Earth’s shadow.

Answer:
It's true that the Moon goes around Earth every month, but it doesn't always get in Earth's shadow. The Moon's path around Earth is tilted compared to Earth's orbit around the Sun. The Moon can be behind Earth but still get hit by light from the Sun.This is why we don't get a lunar eclipse every month.
