What is total and partial eclipse?
For example, in the case of a solar eclipse, a "total eclipse" means that at some point, the entire Sun is darkened. A "partial eclipse" means that the Sun is only partially darkened - at no point does the entire Sun get darkened. Similar for lunar eclipse. Specifically for the case of a solar eclipse, it is also possible to get an "anular eclipse", meaning that a ring of light remains on the outside (that is, a part that doesn't get darkened, in the form of a ring).

What is the difference between a full lunar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the normally full Moon crosses into the Earth's shadow, thereby creating a darkened area on the moon. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon falls into the Earth's shadow. During a full lunar eclipse, the entire moon crosses through the earth's shadow, and therefore the entire moon is darkened.
What happens during a total solar eclipse?

What are Solar and Lunar Eclipes?
A eclipse is a shadow. A shadow is a blocking of the Sun's light. There are two kinds of shadows: the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and the Earth's shadow on the Moon. The first kind is a Solar Eclipse, because from a Earth person's perspective, the Sun is darkened. The other is a Lunar Eclipse because -- again, from an Earth perspective -- the Moon is darkened.
Can an eclipse of the sun be seen by everyone on the day side of earth?
No. A total solar eclipse can only be seen in a relatively small area. A partial eclipse may be seen in a much larger but still limited area.
When will the next total solar eclipse be in the bay area?
ten past six.

Is the umbra the partial shadow of a eclipse?
No, the umbra is the central, darkest part of a shadow where the light source is completely blocked. In the case of an eclipse, the umbra refers to the region of total darkness where the light source is completely obscured, such as during a total solar eclipse.
