The answer is very simple: Because it's harmful to the eyes to stare at the sun

at ANY TIME. During a solar eclipse, weird things appear to be happening to the

sun. That arouses interest, and people become curious and more likely to stand

there and stare at the sun.

It's not the eclipse that's dangerous. It's looking at the sun.

Yes, it is. However, it is NOT safe to ever look at the sun during a solar eclipse.

Never observe a solar eclipse with the eyes unprotected. Lunar eclipses are safe to observe with the naked eye.

Can people watch a solar eclipse?

It is possible for people to watch a solar eclipse; it may be part of a solar eclipse that they see or even the total eclipse. It is suggested not to look at it though since it is bad for one's eyes. So, special sunglasses help for that - not ordinary ones. With the naked eye, it will cause serious damage, and even blindness. Some common methods of avoiding this are watching through tree branches, so that most of the light is blocked, or buying special protective glasses. (Sunglasses won't do the trick).
