Why does a solar eclipse happen?
Earth makes one revolution around the Sun in 365 days. Moon is a satellite of Earth. The Moon takes 27 days to orbit the Earth. During this many times the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, so the sunlight does not reach the Earth. This is called a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs on the new moon day.
Watching eclipse with open eyes is dangerous
When the Moon blocks sunlight from reaching the Earth, it can be dangerous to look directly at the Sun. It is so called because the bright rays coming from the sun can damage the retina. There are special specs for this. Children should not show the eclipse, it can harm their eyes.
