Why are lunar eclipses more visible than solar eclipses?

Even though both are just as rare (more or less) lunar eclipses occur at night and last about three hours. Solar eclipses are dangerous to watch without special filters and last several hours, but again should not be seen with the naked eye.


What are the effects of Lunar eclipse on human health?

There is no evidence that eclipses have any physical effect on humans. However, eclipses have always been capable of producing profound psychological effects. For millenia, solar eclipses have been interpreted as portents of doom by virtually every known civilization. These have stimulated responses that run the gamut from human sacrifices to feelings of awe and bewilderment. Although there are no direct physical effects involving known forces, the consequences of the induced human psychological states have led to physical effects.

Why is it not safe to watch solar eclipse?

I suppose if you're eating, you might be distracted and not fully appreciate the solar eclipse. Other than that, there is no good reason not to eat during a solar eclipse and mere superstition should not get in the way.


Is it harmful to go out during solar eclipse?

Yes, it is. However, it is NOT safe to ever look at the sun during a solar eclipse. The moon blocks enough of the direct sunlight so that the irises remain open, but this leaves the eyes vulnerable to radiation dangerous to them. Never observe a solar eclipse with the eyes unprotected. Lunar eclipses are safe to observe with the naked eye.


Why does the Navajo Reservation in Arizona observe daylight saving time?

Good Question! The Navajo Reservation in Arizona observes daylight savings time (while most of the rest of Arizona does not) because while the largest portion of the Navajo Reservation is in Arizona, parts of it do extend into New Mexico and Utah, both of which do observe daylight savings time. Interesting side note: If you were to travel from say, Grand Canyon east across The Navajo Reservation passing through Jeddito to maybe the Hubbell trading Post, you'd have to reset your watch five times to keep up. Reason? The Hopi Reservation, nestled inside the boundaries of the Navajo Reservation does not change time; and Jeddito is in a very small portion of the Navajo Reservation that lies within the boundaries of the Hopi Reservation.

Why are solar eclipses an interest?

They rarely ever happen, and it is cool to watch. (They happen on the average 2.3 times every year, same as lunar eclipses, but they're still cool to watch.) The thing that makes them seem rarer is that a little over half the planet sees every lunar eclipse. To see a solar eclipse, though, you have to be in a very specific region, so for any given spot you're likely to see a lot more lunar eclipses than solar ones.


Unlike solar eclipses why are lunar eclipses safe to watch?

Can people see a total solar eclipse or a total lunar eclipse?
