Is it any more dangerous to stare at the sun during a solar eclipse than on an ordinary day If so, why?
Looking at the Sun during an eclipse is just as dangerous as looking at it outside an eclipse, except during the brief period of totality, when the Sun's disk is completely covered (totality occurs only during a total eclipse). Because of the intense visible and invisible radiation that the photosphere emits, damage can result in permanent impairment of vision. ChaCha!

About Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon's orbit takes it to a position between the Earth and the Sun. The moon's image makes it appear that a 'bite' is taken out of the sun. The moon can completely cover the sun (at least it appears so) during a total eclipse of the sun. These are very rare, and in ancient times were thought to be mystical occurrences.
