Look at it carefully - use some very dark filter, such as welding lenses. Do NOT try to look at the sun directly because even during an eclipse there is enough light to damage unprotected eyes.
During a total solar eclipse, at one point it will be almost completely dark.
There were no total solar eclipses during 2007. There was one total lunar eclipse, one partial lunar eclipse, and two partial solar eclipses.
There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't eat during a solar eclipse. The only difference between a solar eclipse and night time is that at night the sun's light is blocked by the ground under your feet, and in a solar eclipse, the sun's light is partially blocked by the moon.
During a TOTAL solar eclipse, one can see the corona, the part that extends millions of miles out into space.
-- A dragon is eating the sun. -- There's something special and different about the sun's rays during a solar eclipse that's especially dangerous for your eyes, and that's the reason that you should not look at the sun during the eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.
During any eclipse, the sun, moon, and Earth must be lined up on the same line, so that the one farthest from the sun is in the shadow of the middle one. During a solar eclipse, the moon is the one in the middle, and part of the Earth is in its shadow. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is the one in the middle, and the moon is in its shadow.
The corona, or filaments of gas streaming off the sun are most visible during an eclipse.
It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
You can definitely get along without a website, and probably without a diagram. During either type of eclipse, the sun, moon, and earth are exactly lined up, in a straight line and in the same plane. For a solar eclipse, the moon is the one in the middle. For a lunar eclipse, the earth is the one in the middle.
A solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked by the moon and to best determine when one is currently happening, a solar eclipse is nicknamed "Black Sun."
During a solar eclipse, one looks towards the Sun, and without proper protection eye damage can be caused. During a lunar eclipse, one looks at the Moon, which is significantly less bright than the Sun.
