If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse.
From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.

What would a person standing on the moon see during a partial solar eclipse?
It depends where you are on the moon.If you're anywhere on the side of the moon that's visible from Earth, then you'llsee the Earth fully illuminated except for a small black spot somewhere on it ...the region of 'totality' for Earthbound observers of the eclipse. You may also beable to see a larger circular region around the black spot, where the illuminationon the Earth's surface is somewhat less bright. That's the region in which peopleon Earth are seeing a 'partial' solar eclipse, with a part but not all of the sunblocked from their view. You'll see both the black spot and the slightly dingy areaaround it move across the Earth over the period of a few hours.If you are on the side of the moon that's never seen from Earth, then you'll seethe sun in your sky as usual. Unless you're in contact somehow with the folks onEarth, you'll have no idea that anything unusual is happening in their sky.
The duration of a solar eclipse?
I believe that it is effected by the equinox. Because the sun appears to move faster across our sky's in the winter or slower in the summer this might be the main cause of why a solar eclipse might differ in time. The moons distance from the earth also differs and this may also affect the rate of time that a lunar or solar eclipse occurs.
What are the differences between a solor eclipse lonor eclipse new moon and full moon?
A lunar eclipse means the Earth is exactly between the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth's shadow falls onto the Moon. A new moon means the Moon is roughly between the Sun and the Earth, so you can't see the Moon that easily because the side that is lit by the Sun is pointing away from us. If during a new moon the Moon should become _exactly_ between the Earth and the Sun, some people on Earth (if standing in the right place) would see a big chunk cut out of the Sun where the Moon is blocking its light, causing a shadow to go on the Earth. The Moon might even completely block out the Sun's light for a few minutes. This is called a Solar Eclipse.

How eclipse take place?
You might try a Mitsubishi dealer. ********************************************************************* A solar eclipse occurs when our moon passes between the earth and the sun. A lunar eclopse occurs when our moon passes behind the earth so that the sunlight is blocked by the earth.

Can you see the earth if you are standing on the moon?
The moon always keeps the same "side" ... about half of its surface ... facing the earth.If you're standing anywhere on that side of the moon, the earth is always in the sky, (thoughit might not necessarily be visible, if, for example, there's a mountain in the way).If you're standing anywhere on the other side, the earth is never in the sky.
How many kinds of eclipse are there?
On Earth, we get solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse is when the Sun is obscured by all or part of the moon so that there is a shadow cast directly onto the surface of the earth. A lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes wholly or partially through the shadow of the Earth caused by the Sun, which darkens the Moon, or changes it distinctly reddish. Obviously in other positions in space, other kinds of eclipses would be possible. For instance, Mars has two moons, so it two different kinds of lunar eclipses. On a planet orbiting a binary star, you might speak of an eclipse when one star passes behind another, etc. There are some other complicated kinds of eclipse like the "Analemma Eclipse" in this picture " http://bethlapides.com/images//tutulemma.jpg "

Where might magma rise to earth surface?
Near the tech-tonic plates of the earth.
What is a lunar eclipse on the moon?
A partial or total obscuring of the moon by the earth's shadow. Are you asking "If we are on the moon, what would a lunar eclipse be?" In that case, it would be something like what we call a solar eclipse, but it would be the earth obscuring the sun. I think it might more properly be called an occultation; the earth doesn't perfectly block the sun, it literally blots it out (in the case of a total lunar eclipse) for a while until it emerges from the other edge or limb of the earth.
What occurs when earth is between the sun and moon?
An eclipse
What is a representation usually on a plane surface showing region of the earth?
A representation on a plane surface showing regions of the Earth is called a 'projection'. Or it might simply be called a map.
