Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

The Moon's orbit precesses, because of the gravitational pull of the Sun on the Moon, and the precession slowly changes the direction of the line of nodes. The line turns gradually westward, making one complete rotation in 18.61 years. As a result, the eclipse seasons occur about three weeks earlier each year.
