If you are standing in the penumbra during a solar eclipse, you would see a portion of the sun's surface, but not the entire disk. The penumbra is the outer region of a shadow where only a partial eclipse occurs, meaning that some sunlight is still visible. Depending on your exact position within the penumbra, you could see up to 99% of the sun, with a small section being obscured by the moon.
What else can I help you with?
If your standing in the penumbra what type of eclipse will you see?
You're on exactly the right track, and you're thinking exactly right.But it's not exactly the "moon's" penumbra ... it's the penumbra ofthe moon's shadow.
What do people in the penumbra see during an eclipse?
People in the penumbra during a solar eclipse will see a partial eclipse, where the sun is only partially covered by the moon. This results in a crescent shape of sunlight rather than a total blockage. The amount of sunlight that is blocked will depend on how close they are to the umbra, the central region of the shadow.
What is the difference between the sun and the moon during an eclipse?
In a solar eclipse, the moon is inbetween the sun and the Earth. This means that the moon casts a shadow on the Earth and block the sun's rays. If the moon is directly in front of the sun, the umbra (darkest part of the shadow) is on the Earth. Otherwise, we will only see the penumbra (where the moon only covers a part of the sun).A solar eclipse is where the earth is inbetween the sun and the moon. This can mean that the moon can disappear from the sky for some time (or the sun will be covered if you are standing on the moon!).
Why is the penumbra formed?
The "penumbra" or outer shadow is the area of a shadow from which part of the light source, but not all of it, is visible.For a total solar eclipse, the regions where the Moon's shadow only partially covers the Sun is called the penumbra. Areas where the maximum shadow occurs, where the Moon is centered on the Sun, is the umbra. An eclipse where the Moon does not cover the entire Sun is called an annular eclipse, and the shadow area is called the antumbra.
True or false the umbra is the inner part of the shadow?
The umbra in a shadow is the portion where light from a source is completely blocked. This is in the middle of the shadow. The area around this, where light from part, but not all of the source shines is called the penumbra. In the shadow cast by the moon in an eclipse, the penumbra is the partial shadow that occurs before the total eclipse, and the umbra is the 'total eclipse' portion

What is the outer part of the Moon's shadow cast during a solar eclipse is the what?
Penumbra, the part outside the Umbra. In the Penumbra you see the sun with a bite taken out of it, but you still get daylight.
What part of the moons shadow are you in if you see a total solar eclipse?
You will see a partial eclipse if you are in the penumbra.
What do people in the penumbra see during an eclipse?
People in the penumbra during a solar eclipse will see a partial eclipse, where the sun is only partially covered by the moon. This results in a crescent shape of sunlight rather than a total blockage. The amount of sunlight that is blocked will depend on how close they are to the umbra, the central region of the shadow.
Why do you see only a partial eclipse if you are standing in the penumbra?
The umbra is the name of the complete shadow; the prefix "pen-" means partial. So the penumbra is the partial shadow. The Sun is enormous, and the Moon is fairly small. That means that the umbra, or total shadow, is cone-shaped. Around the umbra is a larger, longer cone, the penumbra, when the sunlight is partly blocked - but partly NOT blocked. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN DURING AN ECLIPSE!!! If you look in an eclipse viewer, it will project an image of the Sun onto the ground or a piece of paper. During the partial phase of an eclipse, the image of the Sun will look like a crescent rather than a circle; part of the Sun's light is blocked, and the rest is not.
Where does the light come from that causes the shadow of the umbra and penumbra?
The sun

What is the lighted-colored outer shadow on earth surface cast by the moon during a solar eclipse?
Isay it is penumbra
If you can see a lunar eclipse are you standing in the Moon's umbra or penumbra?
If a lunar eclipse is in progress, the moon is in the earth's shadow. If any part of the moon becomes almost as dark as the space around it, then that part of the moon is in the umbra of the shadow. If you can see the lunar eclipse, then you are on the night side of the earth. I guess that means you're also in the umbra of the shadow, because you can't see the sun at all.
What are the turms umbra and penumbra and explain how they relate to eclipses?
You can get three different types of shadows from the moon in total. There is the Umbra (complete shadow where you don't see any of the sun), Penumbra (where the moon covers up one side of the sun - anything from a small 'bite' up to a crescent sun) and then finally there is an Antumbra shadow (where the moon sits completely inside the disc of the sun). During a Total solar eclipse, the observer is in an Umbra shadow, during a partial solar eclipse, the observer is in the penumbra. An annular eclipse is where the observer is in an antumbra shadow and sees the moon completely inside the sun, so the sun appears as a ring.
Where was the light come from that causes the shadow of the umbra and penumbra?
The shadow is caused by the light of the sun.
