There are a number of ways. If you have welder's goggles, that will work.
No welder's goggles? Make a simple eclipse projector.
The super-simplest one is a sheet of thick paper with a small nail-hole punched in it. Hold the paper up in the sun, and look on the ground at the shadow of the paper. Normally you would see a bright circle; this is the "pinhole camera" picture of the Sun. But during an eclipse, you can clearly see the image of the Sun with the part "cut out" that the Moon is blocking.

∙ 12y agoUsually our grand fathers used glass coated with thick carbon fume right from a lamp. It was so safe. Now a days scientists provide same special type of spectacles to see the solar eclipse in a safer way. The main reason is that direct radiations from sun would definitely spoil the retina of the eye. When the sun is fully covered there won't be any problem. But as soon as the earth moves away the ring would be formed which would send intense radiation which could burn the retina and hence lead to blindness.

What is the most common type of eclipse?
During the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones, which is about as equal as you can get. But lunar eclipses are visible over a wider area. So if you stay in one place, you're more likely to see lunar eclipses more often than solar ones.
Why do more people see total lunar eclipse than solar eclipse?
It is hard to explain, but in a total lunar eclipse, the earth's shadow covers up the entire lit face of the moon, making it dark. These eclipses can last more than an hour. A large percentage of people on the night side of earth during a lunar eclipse will get to see some part of the eclipse.With a solar eclipse, the moon's full shadow only covers a narrow band of earth's surface because the moon is much smaller than the earth. The 'path of totality' follows a certain course during the eclipse, at any location the eclipse will remain total only for a few minutes at most, and the path only covers a relatively small total area of the earth's surface.

How long does a toaltal solar eclipse take?
The tip of the moon's shadow may spend several hours racing across the surface of the Earth during a total solar eclipse. But if you stay in one place, then the longest period of time that you can ever observe 'totality' ... the entire disk of the sun completely covered by the moon ... is slightly over 7 minutes.
What is more common solar eclipse or moon eclipse?

During the 20th Century ... the full 100 years ... there were 228 solareclipses and 229 lunar ones, which is about as equal as you can get.However, when a lunar eclipse is going on, everybody on the night-side half of theEarth can see it, whereas during a solar eclipse, you have to be on the day-sidehalf AND within a couple hundred miles of the tip of the moon's shadow in order tosee anything happening.So if you stay in the same place on Earth, you'll seelunar eclipses more often thansolar ones. But over any significant period of time, their numbers are equal.
