It’s all about the motions…

Takes 29.5 days! When moon is back where it started (27.3 d later) the position to the sun has changed! While moon revolves around Earth, Earth is revolving around sun.

The diagram below shows the Moon orbiting Earth as viewed from space above the North Pole. The Moon is shown at eight different positions in its orbit. At which two positions of the Moon is an eclipse of the Sun or Moon possible? (1) 1 and 5 (3) 3 and 7 (2) 2 and 6 (4) 4 and 8

Which phase?

There is about a 5 o angle, which prevents a monthly eclipse!
