What are the 2 shadows produced during eclipse?
They are the penumbra (think of a large circle) and the umbra (think of a small, darker circle in the center of the large circle). People who have the penumbra only pass over them see a partial eclipse. People who have the umbra pass over them see a total eclipse.
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.
How much of the sun can you see if you were standing in the penumbra?
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.
The moon's shadow consists of two parts describe in detail what they are.?
The moon's shadow during an eclipse consists of two main parts: the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the inner, darker part of the shadow where the moon completely blocks the sun's light, resulting in totality during a solar eclipse. The penumbra is the outer, lighter part of the shadow where the sun is only partially obscured, leading to a partial eclipse. Observers located in the umbra experience a total eclipse, while those in the penumbra see a partial eclipse.
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.

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 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.
How much of the sun can you see if you were standing in the penumbra?
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.

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.
If you were on earth in an area within the penumbra would you see a total or partial solar eclipse?
Yes, it is possible to see a total or partial solar eclipse on earth in an area within the penumbra.
Do you have to be in the moons umbra to see a solar eclipse?
To see a total solar eclipse, yes. However, you need only be in the penumbra to see a partial eclipse.
Why do you only see a partial eclipse if standing in the penumbra?
Not all light is being blocked ..
When is the next penumbra lunar eclipse in the US in 2013?
Please note that in a penumbra lunar eclipse there is nothing to see; nothing spectacular. If you look at the Moon, you might not even notice that there is an eclipse going on; it will just get a bit darker (more on one side than on the other). There was a penumbra eclipse on 25 May 2013; there is going to be another one on 18 October 2013.
Can everyone see the solar eclipse?
Definitely not! Two people standing right next to each other will generally have the same view, but if two people are a mile apart, its' possible that one will experience a total solar eclipse while the other will see only a partial eclipse. For people who are right on the edge of the path of totality, it's possible to do an interesting experiment; line up a set of telescopes every 10 yards or so, connected to photosensors and highly accurate clocks. Measure the precise time at which the Sun flickers into view through the valleys in the mountains on the Moon, and you can create amazingly accurate elevation maps of the lunar mountains.
What is the Outer incomplete piece of darkness during a solar eclipse?
The outer incomplete piece of darkness during a solar eclipse is known as the penumbra. It is the region where only a partial shadow is cast, allowing some sunlight to reach the observer. During a solar eclipse, people located in the penumbral area see a partial eclipse, where the Moon covers only a portion of the Sun. In contrast, those in the umbra experience a total eclipse, where the Sun is completely obscured.
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.
