Why doesn't the Earth see a Solar Eclipse somewhere every single time there is a new moon?

During which tide is the lowest high tides?
and Why?
哪个潮汐是最低的高潮？为什么？
Neap Tide 小潮
- The solar & lunar tide are not working together
- The solar tide cancels out the lunar tide
-Gravity from Sun and Moon are pulling in opposite directions.
太阳和月球潮汐不能一起工作
- 太阳潮抵消了月球潮汐
- 来自太阳和月亮的引力向相反的方向拉动。

Using the ideas we learned about the reason for the seasons- Why are the Summer months warmer?
使用我们在课堂上学到的关于季节原因的想法 - 为什么夏季会更暖和？
The angle of the sunlight: at a higher angle & covering a smaller surface area. The sunlight is more direct and concentrated.
阳光的角度：以高角度覆盖较小的表面积。 阳光更加直射和集中。

What causes the phases of the Moon?
是什么导致了月相？
The sun lights up half the moon and the Moon orbits the Earth. Observers on the Earth see a different portion of the lit side depending on where the Moon is in its orbit.
太阳照亮了半个月亮，月亮围绕地球运行。 根据月球在其轨道上的位置，地球上的观察者会看到发光面的不同部分。

Why are you less likely to see a Solar Eclipse than you are a Lunar Eclipse?
月食的太阳/地球/月亮排列是什么？
Because the Moon's shadow covers a very small surface on the Earth during a Solar Eclipse while the Earth's shadow covers the entire moon during a Lunar Eclipse
因为在日食期间月球的阴影覆盖了地球上非常小的表面，而在月食期间地球的阴影覆盖了整个月球

Explain which season has the shortest days and what that has to do with the Sun's path.
解释哪个季节的日数最短，这与太阳的路径有什么关系。
Shortest days: Winter
Reason: The Sun's path in the sky is the shortest, the sun reaches the lowest altitude at solar noon. Result: fewer daylight hours.
最短天数：冬季
原因：太阳在天空中的路径最短，太阳在正午时到达最低高度。 结果：日照时间减少。

How long is the cycle of the Lunar Phases and why is it different than the period of revolution of the Moon?
月相的周期有多长，为什么它与月球的公转周期不同？
29.5 Days
Why- Because the Earth moves in its Orbit around the Sun. The Earth & Moon are in a different spot relative to the Sun after the Moon completes its full orbit (27 days)
29.5 天
为什么——因为地球在围绕太阳运行的轨道上运行。 在月球完成其完整轨道（27 天）后，地球和月球相对于太阳位于不同的位置

Why is there a tidal bulge on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon?
为什么月球或太阳的地球对面有潮汐隆起？
The pull of gravity from the Moon is stronger on the side nearest the moon. The water & Earth closest to the Moon is pulled faster and the tidal bulge on the opposite side is due to inertia (it wants to stay where it is while the other side pulls away).
来自月球的引力在离月球最近的一侧更强。 离月球最近的水和地球被拉得更快，另一边的潮汐隆起是由于惯性（它想留在原地而另一边拉开）。
