How do scientists measure the diameter of the sun?
They don't look directly at the sun. They use special cameras and telescopes with filters over them in order to avoid damaging their eyes.
What is the conclusion of proper viewing of a solar eclipse?
Don't look at the Sun unless you have some very dark filters. Don't look at the Sun through a telescope, not even with dark filters. You can project the image from the telescope on a white sheet of paper and view it there.
Did astronomers believe that the sun was part of earth?
No.
What is the faint outer atmosphere of the sun?
the atmosphere of the sun is called the corona the corona is many times hotter the surface of the sun. Astronomers can see the corona with special laboratory equipment, but otherwise it is only visible during a total eclipse.
What is the average distance from earth to the sun for astronomers?
The average distance between the Earth and sun, in round figures, is 93 million miles. Astronomers tend to maintain the same distance from the sun that ordinary people do.
Can the solar eclipse blind you?
Only if you tried to look direct at it with a telescope or binoculars. You never look at the sun using them without proper precautions, like special filters that can be used.

Astronomers think the sun will die in 2012
How do you look at a solor eclipse?
Do NOT look directly at the Sun, as this may damage your eyesight. Do NOT, EVER, look at the Sun through a telescope, as this is even more dangerous. The recommended methods are to use very dark eye filters. Any filters used for other purposes - such as welding glasses - may not be dark enough; better to get eye filters specifically sold for the purpose of observing a solar eclipse. If you have a telescope or binoculars, DON'T look directly into it when pointing it at the Sun; however, you can use the telescope to project the Sun's image on a piece of white paper.
Is it safe to look at the Sun?
Yes, if you're alright with being blind. You can look at the sun safely by using proper filters to block UV rays but this is still very hazardous.
What is used when astronomers measure the distance from the sun to the earth?
Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
How do you you start a sentence with you about the sun?
You have to use special eye-protection to look at the sun.
