Why do we not experience total solar eclipses or lunar eclipses every orbit of the Moon? Check all that apply. The Moon's orbit is tilted 5 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane The angular sizes of the Moon and Sun vary depending on where we are in our orbit and where the Moon is in its orbit There actually are total solar eclipses every orbit, it's just that the Moon's shadow is small and often falls onto ocean where no one lives to see it Earth's axis precesses, so how we're tilted relative to the ecliptic changes The shadow of the Earth at the Moon's orbit changes angular size, and sometimes it's too small to cover the Moon entirely
