An eclipse occurs when one celestial body blocks light from reaching another. A lunar eclipse specifically happens when Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. The other options are incorrect: Earth's rotation causes day/night, cloud shadows are local, and aligned gravity causes tides, not eclipses.
