Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light. However, this does not happen every month because the moon's orbit is slightly tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun. As a result, the moon's shadow often misses the Earth, causing no eclipse to occur.
