Solar Eclipse Effect On COVID-19: Will Surya Grahan Kill Coronavirus, Scientific Explanation

Solar Eclipse Effect On COVID-19: The Solar Eclipse or the Surya Grahan which is all set to be seen in India on Sunday, June 21 2020. This is believed to be the deepest annular eclipse that will be witnessed in a 100 years. While the world gears up to witness the Ring of Fire, a few are wondering if Solar Eclipse / Surya Grahan will have any effect on coronavirus which has brought the world to a standstill.

Will solar eclipse kill coronavirus is the most asked question on Google search. You already know that a solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes in between the Earth and the sun, obstructing the sunlight from reaching the earth.

Now, is there a link between the coronavirus outbreak and solar eclipse? A scientist in Tamil Nadu's Chennai has claimed that the COVID-19 which has killed several people is linked to the solar eclipse that happened on December 26 last year.

As per a bizarre claim made by scientist Dr KL Sundar Krishna, COVID-19 may have occurred due to the mutated particle connection of the first neutron emitted post-Surya Grahan because of the fission energy. The scientist also observed in the solar system, a planetary configuration with new alignment which happened post solar eclipse in December 2019. He also says that bio-nuclear interaction in the upper atmosphere could be the source of coronavirus. However, this explanation is yet to be vetted by other scientists.

Experts say that the link between the solar eclipse and COVID-19 is the sun. The coronavirus belongs to the group of viruses called coronaviruses. Corona means crown. Way back in 1986, scientists who discovered coronavirus found the virus looked a lot like a solar corona—the bright crown-like ring of gas around the sun that can be seen during an eclipse.

While scientists earlier claimed that those living in hot conditions were less likely to contract the virus infection, the myth was soon broken and debunked by the world health organisation.

However, experts say that solar corona which is way hotter than the surface of the sun could kill the virus. However, scientists say this can happen only if the solar corona gets closer to earth which is a far cry as the distance between the sun and the earth is 152.02 million kms. So for now, stay safe and follow all the guidelines set by the health authorities.
