Dysfunction of Gravity
During an eclipse, earth’s gravity gets disturbed since the Sun and Moon get aligned on the same path. On the other hand, moon shadows the Sun and together both sun and moon try to attract the earth from the same side. As a result there is a cumulative effect of pull produced by both the forces. Disturbance of Sleep wake cycles
The hormone named melatonin acts as modulator of the day-night cycles. During a solar eclipse this hormone gets disrupted. When the eclipse happens during day time, the most prominent effect is the change in the behavior of animals. Different animals behave differently during eclipse. For Example: It’s different for nocturnal animals like owl, bat, rats etc.
