we close our eyes to keep them safe from debree and germs eg when you sneeze you automatically close your eyes this is a message from your brain to your eyes telling them that you have sneezed so to keep them closed from germs when you blink it alsokeeps your eyes moisterised \n\ntry to keep your eyes open when you sneeze

A search of the Internet yields a lot of sites that basically say that it's a known phenomenon, but science hasn't figured out why.\n\nThere is speculation that the optic nerve gets overloaded by the bright light and "leaks" onto the nerves that trigger sneezing.

No, as the force (100 mph) would make your eyes pop out, also you should let your sneeze out and not keep it quiet as the pressure can do damage, burst blood vessels etc

Not an expert, but it seems to be a kind of reflex action in a small percentage of people. If you experience the "sun sneeze" the same way that I do, it only occurs if I look skyward or toward the bright light of the sun.  If  I look away, I lose the urge to sneeze.  My best guess is that it may be a crossed wire of sorts in some people where an overload of the visual senses creates a reaction.  Since it is impossible to keep your eyes open during a sneeze, it could be that this reaction is the body's attempt to protect your eyes from exposure to the intense light.

Not if you are a normal, healthy person. Some people do have nerve and muscle problems, and are either unable to open their eyes normally, or to close them when they sleep. These people must use special drops in their eyes to keep their eyes lubricated so they are not damaged by drying out. But it can not be done on a voluntary basis.

Whenever I look at the sun (not often, be assured) I don't seem to feel any sudden sneezes coming on. Perhaps your sinuses are shaped as to when you tilt your head back, you trigger a sneeze? Maybe it's temporary, because of a cold or bad sinuses or allergies.\n\nYou should try looking into the sun (not for very long) in the morning or evening when you don't have to tilt your head and see what happens.

It is not the sun that is stopping you from the sneeze, it is the position of your head. you can look at the moon or a a piece of key lime pie that is floating in the sky and have the same result.

Absolutely not!  \n\nIf people who have allergies and sneeze numerous times in a row (my friend can sneeze more than 10 times in a row during allergy season) suffered a stopped heart, they'd die by the time the sneezing fit was over.

yes.  you sneeze when something irritates your inner nose.  all that happens is that a little piece of dust gets in the wrong place, and you wake up sneezing--but this does not happen very often.  it is very rare

As they all say that's false. However...when you have a heart attack a strong sneeze can *stop* the heart attack! It really works (I've had to force a sneeze a few times).

Mechanism of sneezing - Normally, sneezing is an involuntary reflex, which is controlled by a complex interaction of nerve fibres. A variety of receptor sites, situated in the nose, reports about the irritation or foreign substance to the brain for inducing sneezing by releasing histamine, for clearing the nose. Receptors are sensitive to infection, touch, smells of dust, chemical gases, fumes, temperature and exposure to extreme cold air and water (the main offender). Usually, sneeze begins with a deep inspiration and closed glottis, which suddenly opens after gaining pressure from contraction of the diaphragm, abdomen muscles and other muscles which compress the lungs to let out the trapped air with force through nose and mouth. So with an explosive sound, throw of air occurs as a sneeze. Sneezing also involves contraction of the muscles of face, neck and eyes. Sometimes, sneezing air speed is measured more than 120 km/per hour. Normally, people sneeze once or twice during early morning or daytime to clear the nose.\n\nFor more info, go to the source...
