DubWolf 17,263 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 How long ? I certainly have probably only dared to look at the sun directly for no more than half a second. If it’s directly in front of me while driving.... maybe longer, but it’s not directly at it. Longest I’ve stared at it is probably when at sunset when it isn’t as bright (however I understand it may still be harmful to do so... so...). If you’ve seen a solar eclipse you could technically say you’ve seen it longer. Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel Heart 6,466 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 2 seconds at most, not counting the eclipse where I was memorized and I had no idea how long I looked. I used to think sunglasses were like a foolproof shield. I was wrong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosphor 11,529 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 Naked eye, definitely less than a second. My eyes are pretty sensitive to bright light. I use a solar filter on my telescope to look at the Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applesjck 5,601 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 I think about ten seconds, when I was younger. I wanted to see how long I could last. Lover of all things Applejack. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpWit 2,667 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 This is hurting my eyes thinking about it, heck I wince when I see someone welding in a video and it's not actually and brighter than whatever white is taking up most of. I want to say around 40 something seconds directly, I remember looking up at it during the first grade. Looked at it during the eclipse and a time before that with protection, and on a thin but overcast day I've looked at it plenty. The worst was interrupted by occasional glances at other things and blinking, but it was a sunset. Didn't think about it, but even though it was dimmer out, that intensity hadn't truly changed. That was about 10 minutes, eyes bothered me most of the night before going to bed, had a little trouble walking home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,307 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 My eyes are bad enough without trying to fry them in my head! Seriously though. Extreme brightness causes me pain. Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreambiscuit 9,795 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 Maybe five seconds. I don't remember really. It's been a long time since I was foolish enough to risk my eyesight out of boredom or fleeting curiosity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow Cloud 17,979 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 I don't stare at the Sun, if I accidently catch sight of it I look away immediately as I don't want to damge my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixonTheAdversary 1,632 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 Like 3 minutes. I zoned out and didn't really realize I was staring at the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklingSquirrels 21,342 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 No more than a few seconds by accident. I’ve watched the sun at sunset though for awhile ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 23,218 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 I stared at it for several minutes before during a solar eclipse, but that was with specialized, protective glasses on. *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splashee 28,564 January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 Around 7 to 8 minutes, when I was younger. Me and my ex-friend were very competitive brats. He is my ex-friend because of some of the things he did, like getting us to look directly into the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
