Why does the temperature change during totality in a lunar eclipse?

Nothing happens to the temperature during a lunar eclipse. Nothing is
happening on Earth during a lunar eclipse. It's the moon that's going
through the Earth's shadow and becoming dimmer.
(But I'll bet you the temperature on the moon sure changes when that happens.)

Is it never safe to watch a solar eclipse with the naked eye?
It is safe to look at a solar eclipse with the naked eye only during totality. At any other time you need proper eye protection.

What also must be true in order for you to observe a total solar eclipse?
The eclipse must occur during daytime at your location, you must be located within a few tens of miles of the central path of the eclipse, the sky at your location must be clear at the time of totality, and you must be awake and outside.
What do birds do when there's a solar eclipse?
Speaking from personal experience. During the Solar Eclipse in the UK in August 11th 1999 there was a noticeable change in behaviour of the birds. I was in Bedford, UK at the time and although it did not reach totality in my location (about 92% i think) the birds stopped singing which was very strange since it was the height of the summer. It was a very eerie atmosphere.
What would happen to the temperature of the air during a solar eclipse?
Because the sun's light and heat is blocked during a solar eclipse, the air gets cooler.
Is it alright to look directly at the Sun during an eclipse?
No. Not without protection. It is only safe to look at an eclipse with the naked eye during totality.
Why is it colder during the exact period of total eclipse?
During totality you are not getting any warmth from the sun.
What is path of the Moon's shadow across the earth surface called?
During a total eclipse, it is called the path of totalityAn Eclipse.
What is a solar eclipse what is a lunar eclipse?
Interesting! It depends on how you think about it. If you stand on one spot on the earth then the period of totality for a solar eclipse will be a maximum of about 7 mins. while from the same spot the period of totality for a lunar eclipse will last about 50 mins. However, during a solar eclipse the shadow of the moon races across the face of the earth from west to east, and while any one spot is only in totality for a few minutes, the shadow is present on the planet for (3 -3.5 hours), much longer than a lunar eclipse lasts.
Is the sun's corona able to be seen from earth?
Only during a total eclipse for approximately 2 minutes. You must be in the path of totality
What does the word totality in a solar eclipse?
Totality in a solar eclipse is the state in which the sun is completely blocked by the moon so that only the corona and perhaps solar prominence are visible. During this time and only this time is it safe to look at a solar eclipse without eye protection. The area that experiences totality is in the moon's umbra, the darkest part of its shadow. Only a relatively small area can experience totality at any given time. Since the umbra moves along the surface quickly, no single area experiences totality for more than a few minutes. Surrounding the umbra is the much larger penumbra. Areas in the penumbra witness a partial eclipse, where the moon only blocks part of the sun. Even areas along the path of totality will be in the penumbra for a while before and after totality.

Do solar eclipses occur more than lunar eclipses?
They are about equal in number. The difference is in how many people SEE the eclipse. During a solar eclipse, only people along the path of totality can see the eclipse, and that's a pretty narrow track. For a lunar eclipse, everybody on the night side of the Earth can see it.
Earth's temperatures during a lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse has no measurable effect on the temperature at any place on earth.
What happens to temperature during a phase change?
Temperature is constant during a phase change.
What also must be true in order for you to observe a total solar eclipse?
The eclipse must occur during daytime at your location, you must be located within a few tens of miles of the central path of the eclipse, the sky at your location must be clear at the time of totality, and you must be awake and outside.
