Astronomy is the study of the sun, moon, stars, planets, galaxies and other things in space. An eclipse involves the sun and the moon, whether it is a lunar or solar eclipse, so they are related to astronomy.

An eclipse is a celestial event where one celestial body passes through the shadow of another. In astronomy, eclipses are important for understanding the motion and positions of celestial objects in space. Studying eclipses helps astronomers to better predict and understand the movements of planets, moons, and other bodies in our solar system.

Tides are caused by the gravity of the moon and the lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is between the earth and the sun, hence blocking the light. They are related because the moon make them both occur.
