Myths associated with solar eclipse

Answer 1

As long as men worship sun as god, they don't change their thought. Whether the person is educated or not, he don,t have the rationale about the eclipse. Solar eclipse is purely a natural phenomenon and ca occur anywhere in the world. The elders are developing misconceptions about solar eclipse to their children. The distance between sun and earth is about 150,000,000 k.m. Every day sun radiation reaches the earth and some is reflected bace to the space. It is only the moon causing this to happen and not this sun. So if anybody feels that for every ill effect sun is responsible. If sun effects us deeply it has to effect us daily. I don't think more radiation will come from the sun to the earth on eclipse day. stop thinking too much about eclipse and develop scientific temperment. Daniel, Vizianagaram Truly Myths and Superstitions specially in India, dispel many to witness such a Rare Celestial Spectacle.

Scientists should make a Common Man view this Natural Phenomenon Scientifically and Safely like using Solar Filters - Eclipse Goggles which is easily available SAFE METHOD to witness Solar Eclipses.
