Answer 1

The light from (most) lightbulbs isn’t nearly as bright as sunlight.

Think about all the times you’ve been outside and needed to put on sunglasses because the light was so bright you had to squint. Have you ever been in an indoor room where you needed sunglasses because the room was uncomfortably bright? The sun is so bright we can’t look directly at it without hurting ourselves.
