Today on the solar eclipse, if I'm in my house willI be fine? What i mean is , will the sun thingy hurt my eyes if I'm inside? Also, can i look out the window and be fine? Last, can i be outside with just regular sunglasses on and look at it, and can i just be outside and not look up and be fine? Im in North Las Vegas NV. Thank you !

the solar eclipse only damages your eyes because the UV rays are still coming down even thought there is no sunlight . usually the bright light makes you look away from the sun but the light is being blocked so you look right into the UV rays and they damage your eyes. you will be fine in your house and with sun glasses and the solar eclipse only happens in a little area so it might not be happening where you are.

Perfectly fine. There are a couple of solar eclipses every year, seen on other parts of the world. You'll do as well as other people in other parts of the world where they see solar eclipses.
will the sun thingy hurt my eyes if I'm inside?
As you're taught in school, an eclipse is nothing more than one object passing in front of another.
Let me put it this way:
Act as if there wasn't a solar eclipse. In other days, you don't look directly at the Sun because it's painful. You already know that. It's the same thing here. So if you're looking at the ceiling inside your house, it doesn't hurt your eyes. If you're looking DIRECTLY at the Sun through your window, then of course it'll hurt your eyes, just like it happens in any other day.
can i be outside with just regular sunglasses on and look at it,
It's OK to be outside, with or without sunglasses.
However, even on other days you shouldn't look at the Sun with your sunglasses on because they're not appropriate protection. Sunglasses let in enough light to see the rest of the environment around you, so they still let in too much light. Don't look at the Sun with sunglasses -- that goes for eclipse as well as no eclipse.

Unless the windows in your house are made from shade #14 welding glass, they will offer no protection for your eyes against the suns rays. Sunglasses are not designed for direct solar viewing and are nowhere near enough protection for your eyes. And you certainly shouldn't look with no eye protection at all.

"The sun thingy?" WTF? Why do you act like your brain and skin will melt or some **** if you're outside during an eclipse? Just don't have a staring contest with Sun (at ANY time, not just during an eclipse), and no problems.
