A student reviews the model shown and says that, based on the model, a solar eclipse should happen every time there is a new moon. However, solar eclipses occur less often than New Moons. Which feature of the model should be revised to best explain why solar eclipses do not happen every month?

• The model should show that the shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse.

• The model should show that the shape of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is an ellipse.

• The model should show that Earth's equator is inclined relative to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

• The model should show that the plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is inclined relative to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
