Can solar eclipses blind you?
Yes, you should never watch or even look at a solar eclipse
Is there no daylight in certain areas with a solar eclipse?

Can you become blind from a solar-eclipse?
Yes, but you don't have to wait for an eclipse. You can blind yourself by lookingat the sun any time. The eclipse has nothing to do with it. It's just that peopleare more likely to want to look at the sun during an eclipse.
Why can you look at a lunar eclipse and not a solar?
A solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the sun and earth, so it's dangerous during a partial eclipse because it's like staring at the sun, but not during a total solar eclipse, because the moon completely covers the sun.
Why do you go blind when you look at the solar eclipse?
Looking at a solar eclipse without eye protection is basically looking at the sun. The sun emits ultraviolet rays that will damage your retina if you look directly at it. The only time it is safe to look at a solar eclipse is during totality when the sun is completely blocked from view.
Are solar eclipse glasses similar to 3d glasses?
yah. pretty similar shape. i have looked at a solar eclipse before and it was so cool! :D p.s. never look directly at a solar eclipse, it will burn your cornea and make you blind :(
Why will you go blind if you look at a solar eclipse?
You won't, but if there is a freak mishap and it is as bright as the sun then that is probably the only reason
How long can you stare at a solar eclipse before going blind?
Blah Blah= Idiot, look it up on Wiki weirdo
What is partial solar eclipse and total solar eclipse?
Solar eclipse is when the Moon gets between the Sun and the Earth - the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth. If you stand in the center of the shadow it will look like the complete Sun is blocked out and things will get very dark - a total eclipse. If you stand on the edge or near to the edge of the shadow, only part of the Sun is blocked out and things just get a bit dull - a partial eclipse. Solar eclipses happen regularly every year and will be seen somewhere on Earth, maybe way out to sea.
When will the next total eclipse going to be?
The next total lunar eclipse will occur on December 21st. The next partial solar eclipse will occur on January 4th. For more information, look at the Related Links below.
Is it safe to look at the solar eclipse?
No, your eyes can be permanently damaged if you look at the solar eclipse for too long.
When did the last five solar eclipses take place and where could they be seen from?
There are generally two solar eclipses each year. About a quarter of these are total, another quarter are annular, and the remainder are partial eclipses, depending on the precise alignment of the Earth and the Moon. You can look up the details for any eclipse, solar or lunar, from 2000 BC to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Site at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html. For the areas outside of the annular and total paths, large surrounding areas will also experience a partial eclipse. January 26, 2009: An annular eclipse visible only across the Indian Ocean and Indonesia. August 1, 2008: A total solar eclipse visible across northern Canada, Greenland and northern Russia and into China. February 7, 2008: An annular eclipse visible only in Antarctica. September 11, 2007: A partial solar eclipse visible in South America and Antarctica. March 19, 2007: a partial solar eclipse visible in eastern Asia and Alaska.
