Do not do that!!! Your eyeball is made up mostly of water. The sun heats it up and litterally boils/cooks your eyes. Your skin sunburns and so do your eyes except being made up of so much water it happens more quickly. If you burn your retina it's permanent damage. If you don't believe me ask an eye doctor. I just don't want to see anyone cause permenant damage to their sight.Replied By Lou In Texas (Somewhere, Texas) on 07/02/2011
When I was a little girl, we drove about 20 miles to church. To pass the time, I used to stare at the sun all the way there. I have told several opthalmologists about this, and they all said that my eyes were not damaged from it.Replied By Wyleen (Santa Rosa, Ca) on 08/03/2011
I ran across that docu yesterday on the documentry channel. I highly recommend it. It was very informative.
