Solutions to the Eclipse Paradox:

The moon is far larger than previously thought or the sun is very far away from the Earth (or both?). Either way, the eclipse would then occur throughout the entire Earth, including Omashu.

The incident Bumi experienced at Omashu was not the same eclipse as the one in the Fire Nation.

Since Yue is now part of the Moon, she can do magic tricks with eclipses that defy logic and science. Yue wanted to assist King Bumi.

Solutions to the Comet Paradox:

The Earth's atmosphere stretches further into space than previously thought. Therefore, the comet did not come close enough to the Earth's surface to be affected by it's gravity.

The comet moved past the Earth so fast that gravity could not grasp hold of it's orbit.
