Wouldn't a youtube video suffice?

I can't seem to find one that fits my explanation Smile
It would be nice to show (and modify) the angle that is made between moon/earth and earth/sun.

This one might fit the bill. Animated Solar Eclipse. Has a fair amount of information without being to technical, including the orbital planes.
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
