Things you might not know about if you were homeschooled in the US.
Though eclipses happen during New Moons, they don’t happen at every New Moon.
This is because the Moon’s orbit tilts at 5 degrees to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Eclipses only happen when the Earth, Sun, and Moon’s path intersect (this intersection is called a “node”). Usually, the Sun lies either above or below the nodes and no eclipse happens.
