Explanation:
lunar eclipse occurs when Moon enters the Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes in between the Sun and 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.

Answer:
Eclipses do not happen at every new moon, of course. This is becausethe 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.
