What are the parts of the eclipse?
And eclipse may be partial or total, or penumbral or umbral. In a total (umbral) eclipse, the umbra of an object's shadow falls upon another object. Umbral solar eclipses are significantly rarer than any other type of eclipse. In a penumbral eclipse, an object's partial shadow, or penumbra, falls upon the other object.
What are two ways an area can experience a partial eclipse?
An area can experience a partial eclipse when the moon only partially covers the sun, creating a crescent shape of sunlight. This can happen during a solar eclipse when the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth is not perfectly in line, resulting in only part of the sun being obscured by the moon from the viewer's perspective.
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.

This shadow which falls on the Earth and has two distinct regions; a partially shadowed area which is the penumbra and the centre point a totally dark umbra. We on Earth looking skyward and watching the shadow pass as the Earth revolves would describe the penumbra as a partial eclipse and the umbra as a total eclipse.
What is the area of total darkness on earth called when there is a total eclipse?
These areas are said to be in the umbra. From Britannica Online Encyclopedia (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/613811/umbra): "in an eclipse of the Sun, the regions within the umbra experience a total eclipse and those within the penumbra, partial eclipse."
What happens when a penumbra and antumbra hits the earth?
When a penumbra and antumbra hit the Earth during an eclipse, they create different shadow effects. The penumbra is the outer part of the shadow where only a portion of the light is blocked, resulting in a partial eclipse. In contrast, the antumbra is the area where the light source is only partially obscured, leading to an annular eclipse, where a ring of light remains visible around the moon. Observers within these regions experience varying degrees of darkness and light during the event.
