Could staring at a solar eclipse affect your vision?
Yes, you can damage your eyes staring at the Sun.
Can a solar eclipse make you go blind?
It won't make you go blind - but - staring at the Sun for any length of time will damage your eyesight.
Why do you go blind when you look at the solar eclipse?
Looking at a solar eclipse without eye protection is basically looking at the sun. The sun emits ultraviolet rays that will damage your retina if you look directly at it. The only time it is safe to look at a solar eclipse is during totality when the sun is completely blocked from view.
What date did a solar eclipse make someone blind?
A solar eclipse has never made anyone blind. STARING DIRECTLY AT THE SUN can blind you.
Can you look at a solar eclipse?
No it can damage your eyes
Why can you look at a lunar eclipse and not a solar?
A solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the sun and earth, so it's dangerous during a partial eclipse because it's like staring at the sun, but not during a total solar eclipse, because the moon completely covers the sun.
Isnt true that eclipse can effect your life?
Eclipses themselves will not have any effect on your life. An eclipse is no different from night. Philosophically, the emotions that you feel while viewing an eclipse can be quite powerful. And if you are staring at the eclipsed Sun during a solar eclipse, the moment at which the Moon moves to reveal the Sun, the sunlight can seriously damage your eyes, but that's true of any time when you stare directly at the Sun.
Why it is bad for us to look at the solar eclipse?
Because the solar eclipse is so bright that it can damage or even burn your eyes
Does staring at a solar eclipse can cause serious eye damage even blindness?
The key word here is "staring". Staring at a solar eclipse exposes your retina (the light sensing cells in the eye) to a considerable amount of light even though the effect of the eclipse lessens the total amount of light energy captured by the eye. However, the lower amount of light energy also causes the iris (which controls the diameter of the pupil and thus the amount of light entering the eye) to remain more open than if you looked at the sun without the effect of the eclipse, which will make it more comfortable to look at longer, which in turn causes a PROLONGED EXPOSURE to solar radiation which in theory and in practice can and will cause serious eye damage, depending on many factors, including but not limited to amount of exposure, time of exposure, angle of deflection, etc. Exercise extreme caution when dealing with electromagnetic energy of any kind, especially a huge burning ball of fire in the sky. :)
Which one is dangerous to your eye if viewed directly solar or lunar eclipse?
There is no danger in looking at a lunar eclipse. Looking at a solar eclipse without protection can damage your eyes.
What can't you see during a solar eclipse?
You can never view a Solar Eclipse directly or even partial Sun Eclipses. The main reason is if you are looking at the eclipse when the Sun is covered, your retinas dilates. The Sun reappearing is a surprise to the eye and you would have long term damage to the retina. In fact, it's not wise to view the Sun directly at all for our eyes are not built to accept the power of the Sun.
Are solar eclipse good or bad for the world?
Never, i repeat Never stare at a solar eclipse as it will burn the retina out of your head. that is where the moon blocks out the sun whereas a lunar eclipse is where the sun blocks out the moon and that is perfectly fine to look at!!
