Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eclipses of the Moon, or lunar eclipses, can occur a minimum of two times in a year due to the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. This alignment is necessary for a lunar eclipse to happen, but it does not occur every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
