The pinhole camera model

Post by gloriaxiao8023 »

Why can't a pinhole camera model made by two pieces paper get a clear image of the eclipse?

Hello gloriaxiao8023,

I don't understand your question. A pinhole camera can produce a good image of an eclipse. For example, see

Please be more specific about why you think a pinhole camera is not useful for imaging an eclipse.
