eclipses are actually very rare and are basically a miracle they occure. since the earth is spinning around the sun and the moon is spinning around the earth at the same time its rare that they end up covering the light from the sun. simple terms...sun gives off tons of light towards earth, moon is spinning and so is earth, and the moon is REALLY far away, and somehow the moon manages to get stuck in the earths shadow and vice versa
An eclipse of the Moon (lunar eclipse) occurs when the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon. For this to happen, the Sun, Earth, and Moon must be aligned in a specific way, known as syzygy. However, the Moon's orbit is tilted with respect to Earth's orbit around the Sun, so most of the time, the alignment is not perfect, leading to eclipses occurring less frequently.
the orbit of the moon is tilted relative to the orbit of the Earth around the sun, so the moon often passes below or above Earth

Why dont you have an eclipse every month?
The Moon's orbit is at an angle to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun so most often the full/new moon is 'above' or 'below' the line directly from the Sun to the Earth so lunar/solar eclipses do not occur every month.
Does the earth orbit the moon once every moth?
