Question: At solar eclipse, can the "Hilal" be seen?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MOON-SIGHTING
Answer: Solar eclipse always occurs when the moon is "New Moon" or "Invisible Moon". It occurs when the sun, the moon and Earth come in the same line. At that moment moon comes in front of the sun as seen from earth. This moon is totally invisible, because the moon does not have any light. It only reflects sun's light when it is not in line with the sun. This moon is not "hilal" and cannot be seen from any where in the world.

What is a lunar eclipse? What is a solar eclipse?

The Moon | Scholastic.com
Anytime there are three bodies (the sun, the moon, or planet) lined up so that one blocks the light from another, we call that an eclipse. During a solar eclipse, our moon moves between us (on Earth) and the sun and blocks the sunlight. During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks the sun's light that normally lights up the moon. Since we are standing on Earth, what we see is that the moon gets dark. Other kinds of eclipses happen too.

Is it safe to look at a solar eclipse?

Jasmine' China Adventure Tours - Eclipse Tour FAQ
Yes, provided you follow a few simple rules. It is not safe to look at the unfiltered surface of the sun at any time. Even when 99% of the sun is covered by the moon, it is still too bright to safely look at without the right kind of filter. We will be providing filter “glasses” for those who want to experience the “naked” eye view of the partial phases of the eclipse.

On August 21, 2017 there will be one whose track goes from Washingtion state, and exits on the east coast near the Carolinas. There will, however, be lots of LUNAR eclipses to entertain us!

Mountains frequently generate clouds, particularly in the late afternoon, but we will be traveling away from these peaks to get to the centerline, and will be some 60 miles from the highest mountains at the site.

Typically, how big a temperature drop do you get during a total solar eclipse?

NASA - Eclipse 99 - Frequently Asked Questions
My guess would be that it would be equal to the typical daytime minus nighttime temperature difference at that time of the year and location on the Earth. It would be modified a bit by the fact that it only lasts a few minutes, which means the environment would not have had much time to thermally respond to its lowest temperature, so it would probably only be 3/4 or 1/2 the maximum day-night temperature difference.
