Explanation:

Eclipses do not happen at every new moon, of course. As the moon's orbit is tilted 5° 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy) with Earth between the other two, and only on the night of a full moon.

Solar eclipses happen when the moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun. This corresponds to the New Moon phase. Solar eclipses do not occur every New Moon because of the small tilt of the Moonʼs orbital plane relative to the ecliptic.
