Is an eclipse more dangerous than the sun?
An eclipse is not more dangerous than the sun. During an eclipse, the sun's rays are blocked temporarily, but looking directly at the sun during an eclipse can still cause eye damage. It is important to use proper eye protection when viewing an eclipse to avoid harm.

How can you look at an eclipse without hurting your eyes?
You do NOT directly look at a partial eclipse. For a total eclipse you can look directly at the eclipse, during totality. Once the 'diamond ring' effect is seen you must look away. To observe an elcipse, total ort partial , use a pin-hole camera. A pin-hole camera is two pieces of white card , one with a pin-hole in it. With you back to the sun/eclipse, hold the two cards towards the Sun/Eclipse, with the pin-hole card nearest the Sun/Eclipse. The pin-hole card should project the light on to the second card, so you can see the total/partial eclipse on the second card. It is possible to use welders visor glass, but not recommended. Astronomers use special darkened lenses in order to have direct photographs of the Sun/Eclipse. As mentioned above do NOT look directly at the Sun/Eclipse. You will 'burn' yours eyes out. !!!!!! Blind yourself.!!!!!

If you are referring to you eyes, no, definitely not. A SOLAR eclipse is what is dangerous to look at, because the moon is in front of the sun. In a lunar eclipse the sun is in front of the moon.

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.
