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.
A person standing in the moon's what would see a particle solar eclipse?
In the Moon's shadow. Particularly, the "penumbra" which is the lighter partial shadow, rather than the "umbra", the darker total shadow area.
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.
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.

What would you see on earth if you were positioned behind the Moon's umbra?
you would see who and what is built on the moon.

If you can see a lunar eclipse are you standing in the Moon's umbra or penumbra?
If a lunar eclipse is in progress, the moon is in the earth's shadow. If any part of the moon becomes almost as dark as the space around it, then that part of the moon is in the umbra of the shadow. If you can see the lunar eclipse, then you are on the night side of the earth. I guess that means you're also in the umbra of the shadow, because you can't see the sun at all.

What is the definition of umbra?
The umbraUmbra comes from the Latin "shadow". It is the darkest part of a shadow. From within the umbra, the source of light is completely blocked by the object causing the shadow. This contrasts with the penumbra, where the light source is only partially blocked and there is only a partial shadow.
Where is a person standing if they experience a total solar eclipse?
When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth. In order to see it, you must stand: -- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible, -- outdoors -- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset
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!
