Ah, observing a total solar eclipse is a magical experience, my friend. To see the sun completely covered by the moon, you actually need to be in a specific path called the "path of totality." This special spot changes for each eclipse, so be sure to study maps and plan accordingly to witness this natural wonder. Enjoy the beauty of nature's cosmic dance! Positivity radiates in all directions when you seize opportunities like this!
In that case, a Solar Eclipse occurs. It can be a partial or total eclipse depending on the positions at the time of the eclipse. In total Solar Eclipses, the sun is completely blocked out for a short time in some parts of the world. Likewise, Earth's shadow falling on the Moon is known as a lunar eclipse.
People located within the path of totality, which is the narrow area where the total solar eclipse can be seen, will be able to observe it. This path can vary for each eclipse and location. Those outside the path will only see a partial eclipse.
No single eclipse ... solar or lunar ... is ever visible from every place on earth.No single solar eclipse is ever visible from every place or even half of the earth.
On average, total solar eclipses happen around once every 18 months somewhere on Earth. However, a total solar eclipse is only visible from any specific location on Earth about once every 375 years.
When the moon casts its shadow on Earth, it creates a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. This phenomenon can result in a partial or total eclipse, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and moon.
If there is a total lunar eclipse, everybody sees it as total. If there is a total solar eclipse, only people in a small part of Earth see it as total - most will see it as a partial eclipse, or not at all.
A Solar Eclipse, depending where you are in relation to the shadow, depends on whether you see a total Eclipse or a partial.

A blank sky, with no moon!
It is as your question states, partial solar eclipse - the moon only blocks the sun off from earth partially. Total solar eclipse - the moon completely blocks the sun off from earth.

As total solar eclipses are very rare and spectacular, the sight of them is much sought after.
During a lunar eclipse, an astronaut on the Moon facing Earth would see a total solar eclipse. The Earth would block the Sun's light, casting a shadow on the Moon and obscuring its surface. The Moon would appear dark or reddish due to the Earth's atmosphere refracting sunlight.
A total solar eclipse occurs for the part of the Earth in the umbra of the moon's shadow. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun, creating a temporary period of darkness on Earth.
a total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on earth where the moon is visible so you are more likely to see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse
