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).
