Answer» Well at those times Sun was used for many of CALCULATION purposes. So even the disappearance of moon had puzzled people over that time. Finally when they arrived at a conclusion that moon revolves around the earth they felt contented about what was happening. But that was not the same case with the sun. During Solar eclipse, people of those times thought that sun had been their source of all DAY to day calculations. So they were frightened for 2 reasons: 1. Disappearance of Sun leads to loss of calculations and was a bad omen 2. Could not understand why this happened at times at different parts of year Hence sight of solar eclipse frightened people. Also rays of sun during this period has more than 100 X power than original due to which various diseases can occur which further worsened their FRIGHT and situation. |
