Why doe we not see a solar and lunar eclipse every month?

• The Earth, Sun, and Moon have to be perfectly aligned and because the Moon's orbit is tilted, that does not happen very often.

• The moon and Earth have to be on opposite sides of the Sun and that never occurs.

• The moves does not orbit the Earth, so it is impossible for a solar and lunar eclipse to occur.
