Why is looking directly at a solar eclipse considered far more dangerous than looking at the sun on a normal day?
In: Physics
* It’s not.
* It’s just that most people don’t want to look at a sun on a regular day.
* But most people do want to look at the sun during a solar eclipse.
* Also some people might think that because part of the sun is blocked, that it might be ok to look at it even though it’s not.
* So it’s not that it’s more dangerous than normal, people just make a bigger deal about it because way more people than usual will be trying to look at the sun.
