Answer:
The plane in which the Earth moves around the Sun is known as the Ecliptic. ... For the Solar eclipse to occur, the Sun, the Moon and the Earth must come not only in one straight line but also these three bodies should be in one plane.

Answer:
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon enters the Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth. They do not happen every month because the Earth's orbit around the sun is not in the same plane as the Moon's orbit around the Earth.
