Why don’t eclipses happen during any moon phases other than the full or new moon?.

Suggested Answer

Because the moon's orbit tilts 5 degrees relative to Earth, eclipses only occurred only when moon crosses the ecliptic throughout a full or new moon. The Moon is then either above or below the ecliptic plane, which is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned to cause an eclipse only when the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic plane.An eclipse of the Sun (or solar eclipse) may only occur during the New Moon, when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. If the Moon's shadow falls upon the Earth's surface at that time, a piece of the Sun's disk will be obscured or 'eclipsed' by the Moon.Learn more about Full Moon here:https://brainly.com/question/28660315#SPJ4
