It is not safe to look at the sun EVER, even during a solar eclipse, even when wearing sunglasses. You can make a pinhole camera for safely viewing the Sun by projecting it onto a sheet of white cardboard.

Yes, but it may harm your eyes - you may still get a lot of concentrated light, for example, when the Sun emerges from the eclipse. Use very dark goggles, or project an image from a telescope onto a piece of paper. (NEVER look into the telescope at the Sun!)

NO! IT WON'T HELP!The only protective eyewear that would let you look directly at the Sun would be welder's goggles. Build an indirect eclipse projector, and you'll be able to watch the eclipse in perfect safety.

Yes, you can wear them, but don't look into the sun with them. To look at the sun during an eclipse, you will need special protection.

Can people watch a solar eclipse?

It is possible for people to watch a solar eclipse; it may be part of a solar eclipse that they see or even the total eclipse. It is suggested not to look at it though since it is bad for one's eyes. So, special sunglasses help for that - not ordinary ones. With the naked eye, it will cause serious damage, and even blindness. Some common methods of avoiding this are watching through tree branches, so that most of the light is blocked, or buying special protective glasses. (Sunglasses won't do the trick).
