because the light can burn and kill your retina cells. your vision and eyes can be
permanently damaged and can cause blindness, but you feel nothing when this
happens. 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 everybody
want 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 a
solar eclipse NEVER to look at the sun ... that doing it during a solar eclipse is just as
harmful as doing it at any other time.

Why is it dangerous to look directly at the moon during a solar eclipse but not during lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse the earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over the moon. So while you are watching the eclipse there is no danger of accidentally looking directly at the sun. During a solar eclipse the moon passes between the earth and the sun so the moon partially blocks out light from the sun. Thus to watch a solar eclipse requires looking directly at the sun which is very dangerous for the naked eye. So to avoid the risk of serious damage to the eye, you should only observe a solar eclipse using an indirect method.
