Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eclipse seasons occur when the nodes of the Moon's orbit (the points where the Moon's orbit crosses the plane of Earth's orbit) are nearly aligned with the Sun. This can happen twice a year, leading to a potential for two to three eclipses during each eclipse season.
