I WONDER - When Do Eclipses Happen?

Lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted by about 5 degrees compared to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This tilt prevents the Earth, Moon, and Sun from aligning perfectly each month. Eclipses only happen when these celestial bodies align correctly, which occurs a few times a year during periods known as eclipse seasons.

Why don't we have a lunar eclipse every month?

What is the tilt of the Moon's orbit around the Earth compared to the Earth's orbit around the Sun?
