Give this one a try later!
moon passes entirely through umbra. can only occur at full moon. (can be

Give this one a try later!
lunar phases are a consequence of the moon's 27.3 day orbit around earth
why don't we have an eclipse at every new full moon
, Give this one a try later!
the moon's orbit is tilted 5 degrees to ecliptic plane, therefore we have
about 2 eclipse seasons each year with a lunar eclipse at a full moon and
solar eclipse at a new moon

the earth and moon cast shadows. When either passes through the other's
shadow, we have an eclipse
