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.
