They mean the same thing: see wikidedia below:
The noun eternity has 3 meanings:
Meaning #1: time without end
Synonyms: infinity, forever
Meaning #2: a state of eternal existence believed in some religions to characterize the afterlife
Synonyms: timelessness, timeless existence
Meaning #3: a seemingly endless time interval (waiting)

Infinity is a math thing meaning no end. Like 3.14. Eternity is a measurement of time

if you strapped yourself into a hypothetical spaceship and blasted off into outer space and traveled on a path that would not hit any obstructions, and assuming you had sufficient fuel you could travel an infinite number of miles but never get to the end and you could travel for eternity and still never get there. The thing is, it doesn't matter if you go slow (1 ft per day) or at the speed of light (thousands of miles per second).

Unbounded space, time, or quantity ... for Infinity
The state or time after death ... for eternity

i think so...eternal is defined. infnity is not
if you want to become eternal, run at the speed of light. but you can never feel yourself becoming infinite.

Well... in a way... no.
Let's say right now is zero time.
Then, time can expand infinitely in any direction, what we call eternity.
So, there is a relation.

They're synonyms, but they both describe different dimensions - space or time.
False!
