Solar eclipse is when the Moon gets between the Sun and the Earth - the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth.
If you stand in the center of the shadow it will look like the complete Sun is blocked out and things will get very dark - a total eclipse.
If you stand on the edge or near to the edge of the shadow, only part of the Sun is blocked out and things just get a bit dull - a partial eclipse.
Solar eclipses happen regularly every year and will be seen somewhere on Earth, maybe way out to sea.
