But why does it happen? Why does it have so much dangers rays? What gives the moon going in front of the sun so much rays? What creates the extra rays? 🤷‍♂️🧐🧐

@Cottagecheesevr 6 месяцев назад

Like I’ve looked at the sun before but why is it more dangerous??

@hair99 6 месяцев назад

when you look at the sun on a normal day, your pupil gets contracted thus protecting your retina from radiation and harmful rays but when partial or total solar eclipse occurs, it tricks your brain that no or less light is coming from the sun so your pupil do not contract and the harmful rays and radiation enters your eye and damage them. hope this helps!

@aryan_kumar 6 месяцев назад

I don't understand what's so different about solar eclipses compared to the sun on a normal day. Do our eyes take longer to notice the damage by which point it's already too late?

@Emertxe4 6 месяцев назад

Pretty sure the difference is you instinctually look away from the sun if you try to stare directly, but in a partial eclipse, enough is covered that you don't have the same instinct and it feels like you can stare at it. Despite this, the parts that are peeking out are still just as damaging as the uncovered sun.

@vinitmahedia9963 6 месяцев назад

No. It doesn't have biological tissue, it has circuitry that won't get damaged. Our eyes are extremely fragile and the biochemical material is not equipped to handle the spectrum of light that emitted during the solar eclipse. ru-vid.comBycK8VV8TI4?si=w1YcxkUWlnZZ2iid

Is looking at the eclipse more dangerous than looking at the Sun

@stephaniegormley9982 5 месяцев назад

Yes. Because when the sun is uncovered it's so bright it stimulates your pupils to shrink profoundly and immediately when you look at it. Eclipses have the same damaging rays but are relatively dark so no such stimulus of your pupils takes place and your eyes are unprotected.

What do you think people did before sunglasses did they all go blind? What I'm saying is that people have been wearing sunglasses for so long their eyes aren't trained to it so yes it's going to be kind of harsh to your eyes I doubt you would go blind they're just trying to hide the Sun from you and the benefits of it!
