The time required for a moon to orbit around the earth is about 27-28 days
In order for lunar eclipse to occur the line that should be formed is:
Sun-Earth-Moon
because earth is making shade on moon
in order for solar eclipse to occur the line is now:
Sun-Moon-Earth
because moon is making a shade on earth (blocking sun = solar eclipse)
Therefore moon needs to make half of its orbit to go from behind the earth to in front of the earth.
28/2 = 14
Answer is 14
