If the Moon in its orbit around the Earth moves alternately between the Earth and the Sun and behind the Earth from the Sun, why then do we not see solar and lunar eclipses every month?
A)   Because the Moon's motion in its orbit is so slow that it only reaches eclipse position every six months
B)   Because the Moon's orbital plane is slightly inclined to the ecliptic
C)   Because the Moon's orbital plane is at right angles to the ecliptic
D)   Because the Moon's orbital plane is inclined slightly to the celestial equator, which is the path of the Sun across our sky
