Isnt true that eclipse can effect your life?
Eclipses themselves will not have any effect on your life. An eclipse is no different from night. Philosophically, the emotions that you feel while viewing an eclipse can be quite powerful. And if you are staring at the eclipsed Sun during a solar eclipse, the moment at which the Moon moves to reveal the Sun, the sunlight can seriously damage your eyes, but that's true of any time when you stare directly at the Sun.
Why can you get blind during a solar eclipse?
During a total solar eclipse, most of the visible light coming from the sun is blocked (from the point of view of those who can actually witness the eclipse). As a result, it is physically possible to look at the moon as it is blocking the sun. The problem is that your pupils will be relatively wide open, and non-visible radiation that is extremely harmful to the eyes will be able to pour into your eyes, and you will not feel it or sense it initially. The extreme pain/discomfort that you feel when your line of sight nears the visible sun is a very important reaction meant to keep you from being so foolish as to force yourself to look. Don't look directly at the sun, and don't look directly at a solar eclipse. You could cause blindness or serious loss of vision by doing such things. There are materials that can be safely used, with supervision, to make these observations, and be sure that materials are safe before you use them.
This frequency of solar eclipses is more realistic explain?
There are, in general, two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Sometimes the Sun, Moon and Earth don't line up QUITE accurately, and instead of having one total eclipse, we get two partial eclipses a month apart. The lowest possible number of solar eclipses in any calendar year is one; the maximum is five, which would work out to two partial solar eclipses in January, one total eclipse in July, and two partials in December. Both extremes are pretty rare.We _see_ many more lunar eclipses than solar eclipses, even though the numbers are approximately equal. The Moon is a lot smaller than the Earth, and so the Moon's shadow is much smaller yet. A solar eclipse is visible only across a fairly narrow path along the surface of the Earth. Only people along that path can experience the eclipse. The total phase of a solar eclipse never lasts longer than 8 minutes. For a partial eclipse, it is likely that a lot of people won't notice the eclipse at all, because even if half the Sun were blocked, the other half of the Sun would continue to provide plenty of light. It might feel as if a thin cloud layer had dimmed the Sun slightly.A lunar eclipse, on the other hand, happens ON THE MOON, and everybody on the night half of the Earth can see it. Even for a partial eclipse, it's very visible. The Earth is much larger than the Moon, and the Earth's shadow is large enough to completely darken the entire Moon and keep it mostly dark for over an hour.
Why cant we look at the sun during a solar ealips?
You can look at the sun during the period of totalitywhen a TOTAL eclipse is happening.However if even a tiny bit of the sun's bright disk is still visible, the light from it is so strong that it will burn and kill the cells in your retina. Your eyes and vision will be permanently damaged when this happens and, if it is very bad, you could be blinded (you will feel nothing while this happens).To look at the sun during the partial phases of an eclipse you can ONLY do so by looking though No 14 welding glass, though special 'solar eclipse' glasses or at the refection of the sky and sun in a bucket of water.
Can you look directly at a lunar eclipse?
Well, you can look straight at a full moon without a problem, so looking at part of it isn't a problem. It's not very bright. You can't look straight at the sun, or any part of it, without hurting your eyes, and that's what you're doing if you try to look at a solar eclipse.
What is the similarity between the eclipse of the moon and the eclipse of the sun?
solar eclipse-moon blocks out sun-do not look at when occuring lunar eclipse-sun blocks out moon-feel free to look at when ocuring
How does the temp of air be on a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse doesn't last long enough to affect the air temperature. The air is heated by the ground below. However, the temperature we "feel" is a combination of the air temperature and the Sun's light and heat hitting our bodies. Since the Moon blocks the Sun during an eclipse, the Sun isn't hitting US - and we feel a little cooler from the lack of the Sun warming us.
Does a solar eclipse affect the temperature?
Yes, a little. If you are standing in the sunlight waiting for the eclipse to begin, the shade of totality can feel a little chilly, much as it does when a cloud moves across the Sun and blocks the sunlight.

What happens when you look in a solar eclipse?
Never, and I mean NEVER, look at a solar eclipse unless you have special glasses for that. The reason for this is because there is not enough regular light to cause your pupils to retract, but there is still a heavy amount of UV radiation. UV radiation can damage your eyes, and you won't even feel it at the time.
How often does a solar eclipse occour?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth. Because the Moon is much smaller than the Earth, the Moon's shadow on Earth is fairly small, and a solar eclipse doesn't cover much area. So even though there are usually two per year, solar eclipses seem rare, because one area rarely experiences one. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow darkens the Moon. Since a lunar eclipse occurs on the Moon, the entire night side of Earth can view it. So lunar eclipses feel more frequent, because far more people experience each one.
Why it is harmfull to look at the sun directly during solar eclipse?
because the light can burn and kill your retina cells. your vision and eyes can bepermanently damaged and can cause blindness, but you feel nothing when thishappens. you can make a pinhole camera so you can look at a solar eclipse>===========================Answer #2:The complete, straight answer to the question is:Because it's harmful to look at the sun directly at ANY time.During a solar eclipse, weird things are happening to the sun, which makes everybodywant to stand there staring at it. At the same time, the sun seems to be getting dimmer,so it's a lot easier than usual to stare at it. That's why you have to be reminded during asolar eclipse NEVER to look at the sun ... that doing it during a solar eclipse is just asharmful as doing it at any other time.
