text: The moon’s path around Earth is tilted compared to Earth’s orbit around the sun.
text: If there were no tilt, (or equivalently, if Earth's equatorial plane coincided with the ecliptic plane), then every day the path of the Sun would be like an equinox for everyone on Earth -- the Sun would rise due East, set due West, be up for 12 hours and down for 12 hours.
text: Each saros series starts with a partial eclipse (Sun first enters the end of the node), and each successive saros the path of the Moon is shifted either northward (when near the descending node) or southward (when near the ascending node) due to the fact that the saros is not an exact integer of draconic months (about one hour short).
