Because the orbital plane of the moon around the earth (ecliptic plane) is not parallel to the orbital plane of the earth around the sun (ecliptic plane), there is a radiation point of 5 degrees and 9 minutes (called the yellow-white intersection), so an eclipse of the sun and the moon can only occur at some time before and after the yellow-white intersection.

Then, a series of mathematical calculations are carried out, and the conclusion is that the solar eclipse will definitely occur on 16 days before and after the moon crosses the yellow and white intersection, possibly on 16 to 18 days, but not on 18 days. The eclipse must only occur 9 days before and after the moon crosses the yellow-white intersection, between 9 days and 1 1 day, but not more than 1 1 day.

The period before and after the moon crosses the intersection of yellow and white is called "eclipse season". An eclipse season is about 32 days, an eclipse season is about 20 days, and a new moon is 29.5306 days. So there will be 1 to 2 eclipses in an eclipse season, and there may be only one eclipse or no eclipse in an eclipse season.

There are two food seasons in a year, so there are two or four eclipses and zero or two eclipses in a year.

So the number of eclipses is indeed more than that of eclipses.
