Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An eclipse season occurs when the sun is near one of the nodes of the moon's orbit, which are the two points where the moon's path intersects the ecliptic, or the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun.

Eclipse seasons occur roughly every six months and last for several weeks.
