Explain why a lunar eclipse does not occur every time the moon revolves around earth in its monthly orbit?
Solar eclipses occur when a new moon, the Sun and Earth are in a straight line. The solar eclipse does not occur on every new moon day because the orbits of the three bodies don't occur on the same plane angle. ChaCha!

About Moon
The moon is a planet that revolves around the Earth. Reflection from the sun's rays make the moon 'shine'; it does not give out light of its own. In ancient times the Moon was thought to represent the feminine nature, while the Sun was thought to represent the more active, male nature.
