SOLAR ECLIPSE

The solar eclipsed included:

• Mercury, Earth and Sun

• the sun faces the Earth

These are the reason why isn't there an eclipse every month except:

• because the earth is not in the same orbit position all the time and changes

• because moon orbits are faster than the earth's orbit
