How do glasses work? If I took a magnifying glass to burn it from the sun. How come the same thing doesn't happen to my eyes even just staring up at the sun for 5 sec?

    Both eye glasses and magnifying glasses can be used to start a fire but both also take a bit to do so and have to be held in the exact right angle.

    Don’t look at the sun for any amount of time, with or without glasses. You only get one pair of eyes, please take care of them.

    It does, but your eyes have a lot of water in them. Don’t do it again.
