The diagram represents the Moon at four positions, labeled A, B, C, and D, in its orbit around the Earth. The position of the full-Moon phase is labeled. Solar and lunar eclipses rarely happen during a cycle of phases because the:

• Moon's orbit is circular and Earth's orbit is elliptical.

• plane of the Moon's orbit is different from the plane of Earth's orbit.

• plane of the Moon's orbit is the same as the plane of Earth's orbit.

• Moon's orbit is elliptical and Earth's orbit is elliptical.
