This image shows how a lunar eclipse occurs. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth into its umbra, or shadow. As shown in the image, the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, with Earth in the middle. Given this information, which statement elaborates on why there is not a solar eclipse every month, as the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth?

A)The Moon is not large enough to cast an umbra, or shadow, on a celestial body as large as Earth.

B)Phases of the Moon prevent monthly solar eclipses because they cause the Moon's shadows to change.

C)Craters on the surface of the Moon redirect the Sun's light toward Earth, decreasing the Moon's shadow.

D)Most of the shadows cast by the Earth and Moon do not align because the tilts of each orbit is different.

Thanks :)
