During a lunar eclipse when Earth is between the moon and the sun, people can expect to see a "blood moon." This is because the Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight, allowing only red light to reach the moon, giving it a reddish hue.

Do seizures occur during eclipse?

Eclipses do not cause or induce seizures, but for people who are prone to seizures, it is possible that one might occur (entirely by coincidence!) during an eclipse. There is no known connection between them.


Describe the relative positions of Earth the sun and the moon during a solar eclipse and during a lunar eclipse?

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.


What do people see when they witness an eclipse?

If it is a lunar eclipse they see the shadow of the earth cross the surface of the moon. If it is a solar eclipse, they see the moon pass between the earth and the sun. NOTE: One should not look directly at the sun at all, even during an eclipse.


What do people in the penumbra see during an eclipse?

People in the penumbra during a solar eclipse will see a partial eclipse, where the sun is only partially covered by the moon. This results in a crescent shape of sunlight rather than a total blockage. The amount of sunlight that is blocked will depend on how close they are to the umbra, the central region of the shadow.


Why is the moon dangerous when solar eclipse and not dangerous when lunar eclipse?

The moon has nothing to do with any 'danger'. The dangerous act is looking at the sun, which people are likely to do during a solar eclipse.


Does the eclipse harm the children's skin?

No. There is nothing inherently harmful about an eclipse, and certainly not to anybody's skin. The only possible danger comes during a solar eclipse, during which people will be tempted to look at the sun. Looking at the sun at any time can damage your eyes.


How does the moon make the sun any brighter in a solar eclipse?

The sun does not become any brighter during a solar eclipse. The risk of eye damage during an eclipse is only raised because people will be tempted to stare at the sun, something they wouldn't do otherwise.


Can people be outside while an eclipse?

Yes. But don't look at the Sun directly (assuming you are talking about a solar eclipse). Even during a solar eclipse, the Sun is still bright enough to damage your eyes.


Can you let your dog outside during solar eclipse?

Why is the sun more damaging during eclipse than any other day?

Only because during a solar eclipse, it is more likely that you look at it directly.You should only look at the Sun - during an eclipse or otherwise - with VERY good eye protection; dark glasses, specifically designed for this purpose.


Do solar eclipses occur more than lunar eclipses?

They are about equal in number. The difference is in how many people SEE the eclipse. During a solar eclipse, only people along the path of totality can see the eclipse, and that's a pretty narrow track. For a lunar eclipse, everybody on the night side of the Earth can see it.

That's just an interesting coincidence. Actually I would expect this to vary between different people; not all people have exactly the same proportions.That's just an interesting coincidence.
