To see a total solar eclipse, yes. However, you need only be in the penumbra to see a partial eclipse.

Do the people in the umbra only see a partial solar eclipse?
NO they don't. First the Solar Eclipse is on the other side of Umbra. They don't git to see much of it.Because it is usually to dark to see the moon in Umbra.
What part of the moons shadow are you in if you see a total solar eclipse?
You will see a partial eclipse if you are in the penumbra.
Why do you need to be in a special location on the earth to see the total solar eclipse?
Because the shadow of the moon (the umbra) is only small and you have to be in it to see totality.
Do people in earth's umbra see a total lunar eclipse?
No, they see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.
A total solar eclipse can only be seen by people in the area of Earth within the Moon's umbra?
Short answer: True. Long answer: not entirely true as follows: The eclipse event as a whole is visible to anyone within either the umbra or the penumbra, however it appears as truly total only to those within the umbra. That is, those who are not in the umbra are seeing an event that will be called a "total eclipse", just not optimally, as it will appear only partial to them.

When a person experiences the third stage eclipse or a total solar eclipse where is he standing?
Because the moon is small compared to the Earth, the shadow it casts isn't very large. The small size of the shadow and the rotation of the Earth mean that where you need to be to see a solar eclipse is very specific and changes from eclipse to eclipse. To see the next total solar eclipse, you'll have to travel to Northeastern Australia or North New Zealand on November 13, 2012. Good luck!
Who will see a total solar eclipse?
The few people lucky (or rich) enough to be in the umbra of the moon's shadow.

Is this true or false total solar eclipse can be seen only by people in the area of Earth within the Moons umbra?
True. The umbra is the central darker total shadow of the Moon. Outside of this area, called the penumbra, is the lighter partial shadow. In this area, you would see a partial or annular eclipse. The umbra and penumbra are cone-shaped areas of full and partial shadow. The solar eclipse of January 14, 2010 (last week, as I write this) the Moon was so far away from the Earth that the umbra didn't reach all the way to the Earth. So the Sun was visible all the way around the Sun; and "annular", or ring-shaped eclipse.

Can everyone see the solar eclipse?
Definitely not! Two people standing right next to each other will generally have the same view, but if two people are a mile apart, its' possible that one will experience a total solar eclipse while the other will see only a partial eclipse. For people who are right on the edge of the path of totality, it's possible to do an interesting experiment; line up a set of telescopes every 10 yards or so, connected to photosensors and highly accurate clocks. Measure the precise time at which the Sun flickers into view through the valleys in the mountains on the Moon, and you can create amazingly accurate elevation maps of the lunar mountains.
Why are people in the umbra the only ones to expierence a total solar eclipse?
By definition, they are the only ones that cannot see any part of the Sun as the Moon passes in front of it. As opposed to "penumbra"... or partial solar eclipse.
