Despite there being many myths and tales throughout history, eclipses have not been proven to physically affect humans or the human way of life outside of the usual effects of new and full moon such as the effect on the tides. However, there are the obvious effects such as a drop in temperature, light levels and the effect that this has on wildlife. These effects are more prominent during the total phases of eclipses both lunar and solar. Eclipses do have a wide ranging effect on human beliefs in religious and cultural circles. Some positive and some negative however these are not physical effects. Jordan Olling

Superficially, eclipses (solar and lunar) only affect us so far as we see the sun blocked by the moon (and the moon’s shadow passes over us), or the Earth’s shadow on the moon (with light reflected off of Earth onto the moon making it look reddish). But culturally, eclipses affect us because they are amazing to witness, and get lots of people talking about them. I suppose there may also be a negligible affect on tides. And the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth (~3 centimeters a year). 2.3K views
