Instead, because the Moon's orbit is <a href="/wiki/Inclination" class="mw-redirect" title="Inclination">tilted</a> at about 5 degrees to Earth's orbit, its shadow usually misses Earth.

Sometimes the new moon occurs close enough to a node during two consecutive months to eclipse the Sun on both occasions in two partial eclipses.

But at what <i>longitudes</i> on Earth's surface the shadow will fall, is a function of Earth's rotation, and on how much that rotation has slowed down over time. A number called <a href="/wiki/%CE%94T_(timekeeping)" title="ΔT (timekeeping)">ΔT</a> is used in eclipse prediction to take this slowing into account. As Earth slows, ΔT increases. ΔT for dates in the future can only be roughly estimated because Earth's rotation is slowing irregularly. This means that, although it is possible to predict that there will be a total eclipse on a certain date in the far future, it is not possible to predict in the far future exactly at what longitudes that eclipse will be total. Historical records of eclipses allow estimates of past values of ΔT and so of Earth's rotation. <sup id="cite_ref-ExplanatorySupplement3_34-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ExplanatorySupplement3-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: Equation 11.132">: Equation 11.132 </span></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Duration">Duration</h3></div> <p>The following factors determine the duration of a total solar eclipse (in order of decreasing importance):<sup id="cite_ref-longest_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-longest-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ol><li>The Moon being almost exactly at perigee (making its angular diameter as large as possible).</li> <li>Earth being very near <a href="/wiki/Apsis" title="Apsis">aphelion</a> (furthest away from the Sun in its elliptical orbit, making its angular diameter nearly as small as possible).</li> <li>The midpoint of the eclipse being very close to Earth's equator, where the rotational velocity is greatest and is closest to the speed of the lunar shadow moving over Earth's surface.</li> <li>The vector of the eclipse path at the midpoint of the eclipse aligning with the vector of Earth's rotation (i.e. not diagonal but due east).</li> <li>The midpoint of the eclipse being near the <a href="/wiki/Subsolar_point" title="Subsolar point">subsolar point</a> (the part of Earth closest to the Sun).</li></ol> <p>The longest eclipse that has been calculated thus far is the eclipse of <a href="/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_July_16,_2186" title="Solar eclipse of July 16, 2186">July 16, 2186</a> (with a maximum duration of 7 minutes 29 seconds over northern Guyana).<sup id="cite_ref-longest_35-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-longest-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Occurrence_and_cycles">Occurrence and cycles</h2></div><section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Eclipse_cycle" title="Eclipse cycle">Eclipse cycle</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons,_annotated.svg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg/220px-Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="111" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1536" data-file-height="772"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 111px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg/220px-Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg.png" data-width="220" data-height="111" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg/330px-Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg/440px-Eclipse_vs_new_or_full_moons%2C_annotated.svg.png 2x" data-class="mw-file-element">&nbsp;</span></a><figcaption>As Earth revolves around the Sun, approximate <a href="/wiki/Axial_parallelism" title="Axial parallelism">axial parallelism</a> of the Moon's orbital plane (<a href="/wiki/Orbital_inclination" title="Orbital inclination">tilted</a> five degrees to Earth<a href="/wiki/Ecliptic" title="Ecliptic">'s orbital plane</a>) results in the revolution of the <a href="/wiki/Lunar_nodes" class="mw-redirect" title="Lunar nodes">lunar nodes</a> relative to Earth.
