Why is it dangerous to view a solar eclipse with your naked eyes?

204 views

Solar eclipse is just moon coming between sun and earth and its shadow getting cast on earth. Since the sun rays are getting blocked due to the moon, shouldn’t it actually be safer to view it directly as compared to normal sun?

Looking at an eclipse is safer than looking at the ordinary sun, but nobody spends two hours staring at the ordinary sun. We usually avoid looking at the sun due to instinct and pain response, but the eclipse gives us a reason to ignore those warnings.
