Again the shape of the orbits don't matter as far as shadow placement goes, all that would effect is the apparent size of the shadow, as bodies are closer the shadow would be bigger, further away, smaller…but you'd still have a shadow.
The lack of shadow is entirely because of the tilt of the orbit(s)
But you are totally discounting and omitting a critical fact. The solar system is travelling through space, caught in the wake of the Sun, across the galactic plane (at 70,000kph), in a vortex. It's path through the galaxy is not heliocentric, as you describe. There are many, many points within the vortex where the Earth is DIRECTLY between the Sun and the Moon.

The solar system traveling through space doesn't change anything about the gravitational relationships and orbits of the solar system bodies...you'd need a close by major gravity source...such as a passing star...to pose a major risk/change to them. -

If all bodies were on the same orbital planes then we'd have many more eclipses…2 a month…one when the moon is between the sun and Earth, one when the Earth is between Sun and moon…regardless of the shape of those orbits.
We don't because of the tilt of orbits…not the shape.
It does matter in respect to the color. Close is redder and far is bluer. -

Wrong
the light spectrum gives a pattern of Red is moving toward us while blue is moving away. this is what made astronomers believe the universe is expanding outward. it doesn't mean red is closer and blue is farther. it's the direction they move in -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson No, redshift vs blueshift is related to the velocity of the object you are viewing and whether it is traveling towards you or away from you…not how far it is from you.
but that relates to the distance. so I guess we were both wrong however I was closer to the facts. I knew I read that somewhere. but it's moving away in that direction of being farther away because the closer objects aren't moving as fast from their location in the expansion of space.
You want your blue ribbon now? -

No it doesn't.
It relates to velocity and direction...not distance. A redshifted star could be traveling away from us but only be 10 light years away...while a blueshifted star could be traveling towards us but be 1000 light years away...distance has nothing to do with it. -
