What can't you see during a solar eclipse?

Answer 1

You can never view a Solar Eclipse directly or even partial Sun Eclipses. The main reason is if you are looking at the eclipse when the Sun is covered, your retinas dilates. The Sun reappearing is a surprise to the eye and you would have long term damage to the retina. In fact, it's not wise to view the Sun directly at all for our eyes are not built to accept the power of the Sun.

Answer 2

During a solar eclipse, you cannot see the sun directly as it gets covered either partially or fully by the moon. This blocks the bright sunlight from reaching the Earth for a brief period. It's important to never look directly at a solar eclipse without proper eye protection as it can cause serious eye damage.
