An eclipse cycle takes place when a series of eclipses are separated.

An eclipse cycle takes place when a series of eclipses are separated by a certain interval of time.

This happens when the orbital motions of the bodies form repeating harmonic patterns.

A particular instance is the saros, which results in a repetition of a solar or lunar eclipse every 6,585.3 days, or a little over 18 years.

Because this is not a whole number of days, successive eclipses will be visible from different parts of the world.
