A. 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.

B. 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.

C. lunar or a solar eclipse occurs every time the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon orbits the Earth four times a year.

D. The atmospheric conditions that cause eclipses are only found at certain locations and times of year.
