However, the Moon’s orbital plane and the Earth’s orbital plane have an angle of about five degrees in the middle, and therefore the Moon does not pass directly in front of the Sun every time. Due to the moon’s axial tilt and orbital structure, solar eclipses are experienced at least two and at most five suns each year. So what is a solar eclipse? solar eclipse, the Moon entering the middle of the Earth and the Sun; It is a natural phenomenon that occurs as a result of partially or completely covering the Sun.
