During an eclipse season, the moon is in a special position in its orbit around Earth. For an eclipse to happen, the moon needs to be close to an imaginary line that connects the Earth and the sun. This line is called the ecliptic. So, during an eclipse season, the moon is near this line, which is why we can see a lunar or solar eclipse. There are two eclipse seasons every year when the moon is in this right spot!
