The Dangers of a Solar Eclipse

By Jim Thorpe


Before scientific advances came about, mankind relied on all the natural elements of the world to keep them alive. All food was organic, because there wasn't an option for synthetic, and preservatives weren't discovered for hundreds of years.

Not everyone completely understands why these events are so dangerous though. Most of the sun is blocked out because of the moon in front of it, so it should be fine right?

One of the most important things to know if you want to be safe on a roof is to never work alone. You should never work on a roof alone for the same reasons you should never swim alone.

Considering that the sun slaps 100 watts of solar energy per square foot every second, 5% of the full 100% is enough power to keep up the work your solar racking is absorbing, let alone hurt your eyes. Sunlight contains high levels of UV light that burn the retina and cause cataracts to form.

However, accidents happen that no one can foresee, so it is important to always have someone up on the roof with you while you're working. When you're using a ladder to get on the top of the roof, make absolutely sure that the ladder is on secure and stable ground.

Plants use photosynthesis to absorb the rays of the sun and combine it with water and other nutrients, turning it into usable glucose (plant food). The better fed your plants; the more sustainable life is on earth.

Avoid looking into a solar eclipse as often as possible without the proper filters. Scientists use specially designed filters to study the sun while in eclipse.

The freezing temperatures would destroy these plants before they had a chance to survive. Plants bring essential nutrients to men that are required for day-to-day living.

Unless absolutely necessary, don't walk on a roof when it is wet. Sometimes, especially if you work in roofing, this situation is unavoidable.

People thrust open their windows and doors to let it in. They find excuses to be outside every day to soa in the goodness of the sun. The lack of it puts many into a depressive state.

Depending on the height of the roof, this can cause permanent serious injury or even death. It is also important to look out for leaves on the roof.

The image of the sun will shine through the hole creating the image of the sun on the other piece of paper. When you examine the image here, you can see the shadow of the sun blocking all of the light from coming through.

If you do slip, this harness will save you from completely falling off the roof. Make sure that the harness is attached to something sturdy; otherwise, it does you no good.

Avoid the conventional ones that put your eyes in direct line of sight of the sun's rays. Your solar racking and panels won't feel a difference in the energy they absorb. What are the odds that your human eyes are going to do any better? No thirty seconds of staring in wonder will ever be worth your long-term eyesight.
