A. The atmospheric conditions that cause eclipses are only found at certain
locations and times of year.
B. The Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the plane of the Earth's orbit. About every
six months, the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned enough for a solar and a lunar
eclipse to occur.
C. The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun in opposite directions. When the Moon's
orbit crosses the Earth's orbit, a lunar or solar eclipse will occur.
D. A lunar or a solar eclipse occurs every time the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon
orbits the Earth four times a year.
