Do eclipses, solar or lunar,affect life on earth in any way?

Question

Does bacterial activity increase in any way during a solar eclipse?

Answer 1

Short term, sure. After all, humans who are life, do travel to see solar eclipses. If you've ever been in a solar eclipse, you know that the wildlife in the area is affected -- normal daytime birds get quiet and nightlife like crickets may start to stir. But long term there's no effect. Lunar eclipses aren't that big a deal -- after all unless you happen to look up you won't even notice them -- and solar eclipses are so short and infrequent they just don't have any real effect on the energy input, etc.

Answer 2

Yeah Solar Eclipses do....For one they are very harmful for the eye....So people avoid going out.....Plus birds and animals start leaving assuming it is night time.....
