	It is bad for the eyes as the brightness of the sun with the UV rays combined are very damaging to your eyes!

	I would think staring at anything bright for too long is damaging to your eyes, especially something as strong as the sun. If you can look at the sun for a second or two without subconsciously pulling away, I don't think it could be that dangerous. It's a reflex to look away when something is so bright.

	I think sunset is less harmful, because you are looking less at the sun, and more at sand and pollution, and often clouds. I think

The damage producing UV ray is located directly next to the “visible rays” in the light spectrum. The visible rays are rays that allow us to see an object when it is present. To be without visible rays would to be in complete darkness (aside from non-natural light sources). With this in mind it is safe to hypothesize that as long as there are visible rays present, there are damaging UV rays present.

	The sun is not less harmful in the evening....it burns the same UVA and UVB rays no matter where it is, however it is farther away and so you do have to look at it a little longer before the damage occurs. Also if you live closer to the equator it will damage it faster because you are closer to the sun than someone who lives in....Oregon for example.
