No, it does not. It is explained pretty well in wikipedia's "Lunar standstill" article, which says:
"The Moon also changes in declination, but it does so in only a month, instead of a year for the Sun. So it might go from a declination of +25° to -25° in just two weeks, returning to +25° two weeks later. Thus, in just one month the moon can move from being high in the sky, to low on the horizon, and back again.
"But, unlike the Sun, the maximum and minimum declination reached by the Moon also varies. This is because the orbit of the Moon's revolution about the Earth is inclined by about 5° to the orbit of the Earth's revolution around the Sun, and so the maximum declination of the Moon varies from (23.5°-5°)=18.5° to (23.5°+5°)=28.5°. The effect of this is that at one particular time (the minor lunar standstill), the Moon will change its declination during the month from +18.5° to -18.5°, which is a total movement of 37°. This is not a particularly big change, and may not be very noticeable in the sky. However, 9.3 years later, during the major lunar standstill, the Moon will change its declination during the month from +28.5° to -28.5°, which is a total movement of 57°, and which is enough to take it from high in the sky to low on the horizon in just two weeks."
The reason for the moon's orbit moving between the major and minor standstills is that its orbit is inclined at an angle of about 5° to the ecliptic. Due to precession, the lunar orbit rotates slowly around the ecliptic, taking 18.6 years to complete one cycle

Can a body thrown horizontally from top of building travel in straight path?
It will travel in a straight line as far as the x and z axises are concerned however in the Y axis the bodies path will be a inverted parabolic.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball what would happen to the ball?
travel horizontally
How many seconds should you search ahead of the vehicle for a open path of travel?
20 seconds, or as far as you can see down the road.
What is the difference between path and absolute path?
absolute path is an exact road to go in and path is just a relative path, for example the path is near the river - for a path and for an absolute path you can say the path is on green lake street on the intersection of green lake street and Burnside street.
Calculate the average speed of a car that travel 160 miles in 3.0 hours?
If you travel 160 miles in 3 hours, your average speed is 53 and one-third miles per hour.
What is short circuit?
Short circuit is the case when electricity, instead of travel through the design circuit path, jump across an unintended low resistance path and bypass the design circuit.A short circuit is a path for an electric current to travel through where there is very little resistance. This path is often, but not always, through a wire connected directly to a ground, and is often, but not always, unintentional.
How do you get to Mount Moon in HeartGold?
You can travel to Mt. Moon by following the path east of Pewter City.
Why does the moon seem to travel North in the winter?
The moon's path across the sky changes throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the winter, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, causing the moon's path to appear higher in the sky. This gives the impression that the moon is traveling north.
What is path of the Moon's shadow across the earth surface called?
During a total eclipse, it is called the path of totalityAn Eclipse.
What is the circle of the moon that travel around the earth?
That would be it's orbit. The moon orbits the earth in roughly a circular path.
Why does the date for the moon festival always changes?
The Moon is the cause of the festival, not it's employee . The Moon follows it's own path .
What is the command to find out which path or route packets travel across a network?
Use traceroute (tracert) or pathping
How long does it take the moon to travel the entire path around the earth?
The moon takes about 27.3 days to travel around the Earth, completing one orbit. This period is known as the sidereal month.
What continents do you travel across from Africa to Antarctica?
To travel from Africa to Antarctica, you would typically cross the continents of Africa, Europe (if your flight path takes you through European airspace), and then to Antarctica.
How are the movements of the sun and the moon similar to an observer on earth?
From an observer on Earth, both the sun and the moon appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the Earth. The sun and the moon also appear to move across the sky in an arc, with the sun following a daily path and the moon following a monthly path.
Electricity always wants to travel to?
Electricity always wants to travel to the path of least resistance, which is usually through conductive materials. It seeks to complete a circuit to flow from the source to the destination.
Always search the area in and near your intended path of travel how many seconds in front of your car?
