Why is a Solar Eclipse So Dangerous?

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. The logic might seem kinda backwards, but it all adds up to the single word that NO, lunar eclipses ARE NOT DANGEROUS.

Is it harmful to go out during solar eclipse?

Yes, it is. However, it is NOT safe to ever look at the sun during a solar eclipse. The moon blocks enough of the direct sunlight so that the irises remain open, but this leaves the eyes vulnerable to radiation dangerous to them. Never observe a solar eclipse with the eyes unprotected. Lunar eclipses are safe to observe with the naked eye.

Why can you look at a lunar eclipse and not a solar?

Will the solar eclipse cause damage?

A solar eclipse is not dangerous, except to those who are so fascinated by it that they stare directly at it, which can damage the eyes. The sun is too bright to look at directly, even when it is being eclipsed (except for one very brief moment, in the case of a total eclipse).
