My #20 two-layer welding lenses worked fine.

For a relative with poor vision, I made a pinhole projection onto a piece of paper held close to her face (back to the sun), which she could just make out.

It was fun to see crescent-shaped sun dappling on the ground in the shadows of some trees.
Sunshine = energy, which 'drives' wind motion; and that's why winds tend to die down at night time.
