Question

I need to know how Aristotle predicted eclipses.?

Answer 1

The cycle of lunar eclipses of about 19 years was well known even before Aristotle's time.  For example, Thales of Miletus was able to predict them, more than two centuries before Aristotle.  

What we don't know, however, is how Thales was able to predict a solar eclipse, as chronicled by Herodotus.  It might have been by use of Babylonian Saros calculation (which they based on records that had been kept for centuries)...or, prehaps, blind luck.

The main point about Aristotle and eclipses is that he used the round shape of the earth's shadow on the moon to demonstrate that the earth is round.
