During what eclipse can you see a corona?

Answer 1

When the Sun's disk is covered due to an eclipse, its corona would still be visible. The most striking coronal features during an eclipse are the white streamers from the sun which extends into the interplanetary medium.

Answer 2

A corona comes during a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse starts in the day. To form, Earth moves behind the Moon, leaving sunlight on the Moon. Use sunglasses to protect your eyes. When you look at the Moon, the corona sticks out on the edge of the Moon.

Answer 3

During a Solar Eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses. Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon's umbra.

Answer 4

No, you can only see the Sun's corona during a solar eclipse, when the brightest layer, the photosphere, is covered by the Moon. Although the corona is hotter than the photosphere, it is not as dense and therefore not as bright.

Answer 5

The solar corona is ALWAYS visible. The only reason why we don't normally see it is that it is too dim to be seen when next to the overwhelming brightness of the Sun itself.

The effect of the Moon is to block the direct rays of light from the Sun to the Earth, but still allowing the light from the corona to reach the Earth. Special telescopes called "coronagraphs" artificially block direct sunlight without blocking the view of the corona.

Answer 6

You can see the Sun's corona any time - any time you want to burn your eyes out. The solar corona, which is the turbulent outer layer of the Sun, is so dim and faint compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself that it only becomes "visible" when the Sun itself is hidden, as it is during an eclipse.

Special telescopes called coronagraphs produce "artificial eclipses" by blocking the direct light of the Sun, and allowing only the faint light of the corona to pass.

Answer 7

it is visible to the naked eye, but not advisable without eye protection. when there is a total eclipse.

Answer 8

Yes, in fact it is only visible during an eclipse, really, because it is otherwise so dim that the brightness of the sun pretty much obliterates it.

Answer 9

The corona is visible during a total solar eclipse.

Answer 10

Yes, that's what makes a eclipse such a wonderful sight.
