It happens every time an eclipse occurs, somewhere in the path of the eclipse.
Please understand ... it's not actually the eclipse that blinds. It's more the novelty of the occasion.
During an eclipse, people are tempted to stare at the sun to see what's going on. It's the staring
at the sun that causes eye damage, just as it would any time of any day ... eclipse or no eclipse ...
if a person stared at the sun.
The simple and straight forward answer to this is..."Blindness". This is not because of solar eclipse, but because of watching the solar eclipse directly without protections.
When a person experiences the third stage or total solar eclipse he is standing at People's Square.
He is standing outside when a person experiences a total solar eclipse.
No
The astronaut on the moon would observe a solar eclipse. This is because the Earth is blocking the Sun from the astronaut's point of view, similar to how the Moon blocks the Sun during a solar eclipse seen from Earth.
Yes, there can ONLY be a solar eclipse in daylight, because it is when the moon blocks the sun. A solar eclipse can only be seen in parts of the world where the sun is up.
They are alike because they both cast shadows. A lunar eclipse is when the moon is blocked by the sun while a solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked by the moon.
Because there comes a time when the moon blocks the sun while it is revolving around earth. this causes a solar eclipse.
It is relativley rare to observe a solar eclipse because the sun's light is blocked by the moon
Solar eclipse affects the ozone layer. It is because of the increased UV radiations.
Because the solar eclipse is so bright that it can damage or even burn your eyes
During the total eclipse phase, you can - but I do NOT recommend it. When the first sliver of Sun comes out from behind the Moon, you can be blinded in a second. Build a solar ellipse projector using a large cardboard box; it's a lot safer. Or watch it on the web.
