Related facts about solar eclipse does it cause any natural disaster when it occurs?

Answer 1

I've been researching this some time. I think there have been natural disasters at

the time of an eclipse. The most famous one being the Titanic that went down

within two days of an eclipse. The skies are unnaturally dark apparently 48 hours

before and after an eclipse, so its possible thats why the ice berg was not spotted

in enough time.

I have been looking at nautical logs to check them against eclipses, and there are

a few dates that coincide. So yes I think it is possible, and perhaps more than

possible, but no one has yet created data on it.

=====================================

Another contributor dropped by to inject an iota of straight dope:

Skies are not unnaturally dark 48 hours before and after an eclipse. In fact, for

those who happen to be more than 50 or 75 miles away from it, skies are not even

unnaturally dark during an eclipse. The Titanic was in the north Atlantic, in fog, at

night, which might explain why the range of visual observation was somewhat limited.

Take a list of dates of solar eclipses, and for each date on the list, go looking for

some kind of tragedy, disaster, or misfortune, and by golly you'll find it. Perhaps

the least scientifically valid survey method that ever was.

Answer 2

A solar eclipse itself does not cause any natural disasters. However, during a total solar eclipse, the sudden change in lighting conditions can confuse nocturnal animals and birds. In rare cases, some animals may become disoriented or behave differently during the eclipse. Additionally, it is important to take proper precautions while observing a solar eclipse to protect your eyes from potential harm caused by looking directly at the sun.
